Neighbour parking obstruction help :( (Large pics sorry)

Hey

I cannot sleep well as the council says they can't do a thing and they don't seem to be the nicest family due to the arguments and shouting I hear. I have no idea where to go.

Speak to the parking enforcement officer at the council, a few tickets might give them second thoughts about parking there.

I just don't get why more people in this tread do not think this.

TBH I do think the neighbour is in the wrong for the way he is parking and if that was what this was about then id be in full agreement. But the opening post is clearly indicative that the main grievance is with the effect this parking has on the OPs ability to get in and out of his driveway which it should have no effect on whatsoever. The OP then took a load of pictures which didn't help his cause and then bailed on the thread!

Something tells me the OP isn't very confident at reversing. Reversing in from the main road if there are cars around he may find challenging...

and he's never going to get confident at reversing if he avoids it as much as possible.

go to a supermarket carpark at night, practice reversing into the the parking spaces from various angles/distances.

not rocket science

Regardless of the OP's driving skill, the 3 Series driver is a moron for dumping his car on a footpath.

Looks like it's the footpath to his own house. The grass isn't a footpath, it's just grass.

People are having a "cheap pop" at the thread starter because he's being daft.
 
BM was parked across the street on the off street parking bay this morning, but he shouldn't have been parking half on; half off the drive that the OP has outside of his house, if he wants to do that he needs to apply to the council to get another one added.
 
It was my understanding that the BMW wasn't parked on the OPs drive, but on the footpath that ran next to OPs drive.

This then caused OP to have sleepless nights.
 
It wasn't on the ops drive, it was part on a concrete path and part on the grass outside the neighbours house. It didn't obstruct people anymore than the OP who himself parks on the same area at times.
 
The OP paid to have that area built though. If the other person wants to park in the same location or close to it, he has to apply to the council to have a similar spot of concrete laid down in front of his house. Not park half on it, and half on the grass next to it.
 
The OP paid for a driveway next to a pre-existing path. The BMW is parking on the pre-existing path and the grass, not on OPs driveway.

This is how the pictures the OP took conveyed it anyway.

how do you figure that out?

just because the op paid money for a drive, nothing indicates that anyone else "has" to pay money - the op may have paid for a drive through choice!
The neighbour is not parking on anything the op has paid for and putting a drive over common land like the op has, I would imagine they don't actually own the land anyway - the op could park on his property accessed via this driveway which would mean there was no issue with anyone elses parking, but they have decided that the access route is where they want to park...

Op really has no come back at all, the driveway is just that, it's not a designated parking space (and the problem is easy to remedy)
 
Just checked, I thought it was wider than it actually was, and that the concrete part was wide enough for a car alone. The concrete part is not that much more wider than the path. In that case no-one should actually park there and it should be just used as access by the looks of it.
