Letting a neighbour park on my land

Thanks for everyone's comments and moral support and spine stiffening, the car's gone and hopefully that's the end of it.

It might be worth getting some bollards installed or at least a couple of cones and chain across your spot whilst the car is gone. That should make it clear to him and others that you no longer wish to have people parking there.

Not answering the question - asking one.  If you had no issue with your own car being parked in the same position until a couple of months ago, why is the neighbour's car being there now such a problem.  Your own car would presumably also have been obstructing the view.

Well I'd had 3 months of seeing no car there and so I got used to that and the view, added to that I got irritated about seeing someone else's car on my patch when I didn't have one any more and a reminder I couldn't afford one

Having your own car there comes with the benefit of having a car which will in at least part offset the loss of a view. Some people are passionate about their car and may actually like looking at it. 

A neighbours car there has all the down sides of a car being there without the upside of being able to jump in it and pick something up from the supermarket etc. Seems reasonable to me why ones an issue and the other not.
