We moved into a new build estate last year on the 29th and between our house and next door there is a public footpath (flags) running in between. Now there has been no issues whatsoever. Everyone’s friendly and no concerns with the public footpath.
Today I arrived home to a letter by the housing developers that the footpath is only 1.8 metres wide and needs to be 3 metres. So basically the strip of Turf, privet bushes we have laid is going to be reduced and flags put in.
Now I’ve looked back through the paperwork from the solicitors and at the plans, and nowhere does it state any dimensions for this footpath.
Just wondering what my options are. The footpath was in place when we exchanged contracts and nothing has been mentioned about it needing to be extended in any stage of the buying process.
