I came home after a weekend away to find a bus parked on my road, half on the pavement half off. It's a cul-de-sac and not very wide, certainly not the sort of place I'd park a bus.

The vehicle in question is sign written up as a "party bus" so is obviously being used for hire/reward. The owner of the bus also has other vehicles he occasionally brings home such as a large pink stretched limo.

What can I do about this? My neighbours all seem to be pretty hacked off about it, so it's not just me.

When I purchased my house there was a caveat in the deeds that would allow me to park a sign written van on my drive or in the street, I was also not to run a business from the property. It would seem like this person is doing both? However the property they live in I believe is rented and recently converted from a community hall so perhaps the same laws don't apply?

Who would I report a breach of the covenant too? The property the bus belongs to doesn't have a drive, so no chance of them parking it on one.

A sign written van is OK down the side/out the back of the property, just not in front.

I'm looking to sell soon and I don't really want the place looking like a chav rental company with limos and party buses littering the street, I don't think that makes me a snob? The way it's parked must make it hard to get a fire engine past too.

there's a caveat that doesn't allow a caravan out the front of the house too, but they're all fine up the side or behind the house.
