Neighbour visitors parking on easement

Regardless of the meaning in this case of "temporary", isn't this more a case of obstruction?

Would it be obstruction if they have been given permission to park there?

As others have said, what does "temporary" mean in this case? No sensible person would give permission to park in that area knowing this was likely to lead to access issues.

Mischievously, I might point out that there does not appear to be any "area marked 'c' and coloured blue on the plan (if any)". I certainly see one coloured blue. I don't see one marked 'c'. I don't see one fulfilling both criteria. And if they ask "why is it coloured blue then?" point out the "if any", which suggests this is boilerplate and does not specifically refer to your properties. 

(obviously unless there is a 'c' somewhere clipped off your image)

The reason I say this is that it seems unlikely there would be an easement allowing a neighbour to block your driveway, for whatever length of time. Cross, yes, but block? Perhaps therefore the plan does not show what they believe it does.

From what the OP said I don't think they have posted an image of the original plan - the image above is their own work.

There are circumstances where allowing a neighbour to block your own parking might be OK - for example if you don't own a car yourself so have no need to use the parking, but still want to make the right "temporary" so you could ultimately sell the property with unhindered off-street parking.

As was said earlier, without more information and context it is impossible to give definitive answers.
