Permits to park.

[Windlepoons]

Hi,

I purchased a freehold house on a new development in 2012. The development is a mixture of rented and owned houses and flats, and everyone has "allocated" parking.

Today I received a letter stating that they are introducing a permit for parking on the estate and that any car not showing a permit will be ticketed. I have no problem with this as cars are piled everywhere, even parked up on the roundabouts.

My issue is this, we are a 2 car household, we have one allocated parking spot, however, the allocated parking spot is clearly shown to be withing my legal boundary. For the last 5 years we and our neighbours have squeezed our cars into the parking areas ignoring the bay markings.

As our parking is not on the public road and is within our legal boundary as shown on the land registry, do or will they have any right to slap a ticket on our cars?




Thanks in advance.

it depends on your deeds, if you own the land you can park on it, if leasehold however.....

Not true.

Even a freehold can contain restrictions in relation to the use of the land. Although the remedy would, I would think, not be via a PPC, it would be via the courts for a breach of the covenant.

OP.

Put this problem on pepipoo.com

IIRC if your freehold says you have parking rights then nothing...note nothing,can alter that ,and any PPC who tickets you, are ,i think, in fact trespassing

However as i said get onto pepipoo and they will help you
