Courtyard obstructed by works van.
Discussion
I've got a neighbour who drives home from work in a huge van and when he can't park outside his house he parks partially across my rear gates/yard which means I can't gain access with a vehicle.
I don't need access that often but when I did, recently I got him out of bed to move his van out of the way on a sunday morning. The vans not signwritten but does advertise a phone number. It's clearly a works van.
At the moment I don't want to fall out with him but I think he's starting to take the piss and I predict he's gong to do this more frequently. So, are there any options that I could take in future if he becomes a pain on a more frequent basis? Speak to his boss or the council maybe? Thanks.

Did he object when you got him out of bed to move the van? If not I would tend to have a civilised chat with him and come to some agreement. If you only need access infrequently if you know when it is in advance you can drop a note through his letterbox or just get him out to move it.
I'd suggest its better not to upset neighbours even if you dont mean to.

^ Yes I have a dropped kerb.
When the roads clear he parks outside his house where those 2 cars are. When he can't park there he parks anywhere but if outside my place causes an obstruction. I have to knock on his door and I've done that a couple of times now.
Before I tackle him again I'd like to find out if it could be a council issue or if there's any requirement for him not to bring that van home with him.

Check with your local authority, parking across a dropped kerb is often an offence, once he receives a ticket he will move it.
Is that his garden next to the white house? He appears to have a drive at the end.
Where I live the side road is narrow, there is a guy with a large van that lives there, he often parks outside my house, usually just over night so not a huge issue, but recently it's been weekends and was once two weeks whilst he went on hols. Yes it's taxed and insured and he can park where he likes blah blah. But he could park out on the main road where he won't annoy anyone, it would mean he has to walk 200 yards. He's a fat b
