What, you can’t park in a parking space either 
According to site it’s not a parking space, even though he has exclusive access to it. I’d hoped - as he has two parking spaces and two cars - he might just do the decent thing.
He suggested other people would park there but then surely he’s got every right to ask people not to, and now he has me inside to ask the same thing.
People eh. Selfish c***s the lot of em.
You have bought the house that overlooks it and you are angry he’s blocking a view you don’t own?
Basically on any new build estate with limited on street parking expect every bit of tarmac to be parked on at some point. That spot outside your window is prime parking. I learnt this lesson the hard way myself with a neighbour where I was at the end of a cul de sac and he parked on the bit of road outside his house blocking my access to my house. Bugga just couldn't see why it was a problem me not being able to access my drive.

When I said “exclusive access” I meant, no other houses would have cause to use that turning point. You have bought the house that overlooks it and you are angry he’s blocking a view you don’t own?
I’m not that angry, yet. At the moment it’s a slight frustration over someone else’s laziness and human nature in general.
I have two spaces, I use them, even though I could park in that same space and be closer to my front door than my own spaces.
I bought the house overlooking a turning point and a nice grassy (maybe with trees too). It’s on the plans. I’ve got a view of a van.

If I were you I would put up a nice fast growing Laurel and focus on having a view of a beautiful garden. Have you thought about how are you going to feel when children and probably teenagers are making a lot of noise on that open space when you are working?

It’s an odd layout. Our house is sideways on to the street address and my parking is behind the house, not on that pic. We have a different street address to the house next door, plot 74
The parking bottom right is his, two spaces.
This picture shows both “conveyancing lines” in red and the hatches are “shared access”

Ours is plot 73 and our property boundary is up to the turning point. Bizarrely about a metre outside the fence *facepalm*
Plot 71 has a long dark walk home from their car parking spots...The parking bottom right is his, two spaces.

I get what you’re saying. I guess I’m basing this on what I’d do and working with neighbours to make / keep an area as nice as possible for all of us.

Honestly I think you will save yourself a lot of hassle if you put a really nice hedge, even if it’s just blocking that one bit.

Are you sure you would be allowed to do that given that the shaded area belongs to 73 on the deeds? Sure you might have a right to drive over that area and to use it for turning, but to park?
That was based on what the neighbour said, he started parking his van there to stop others parking there and making it harder to turn into his spaces. He should’ve been using the “get orrf my laaand” argument if he actually owns the turning point, rather than just blocking it.
The builders, site manager etc don’t seem to think he does but I accept they’re not lawyers.

Why would the builders and site managers care less or be bothered about thinking about the legality for two seconds? Their jobs were to build houses and sell them - job done, next site please.

It caused annoyance and bad feeling on the street, including threats and very unsavoury behaviour. Furthermore, once you start a legal issue on something like this, even though you are in the right, it will be recorded as a neighbour hood dispute and must be declared in the legal pack, even after a legal judgement. Ask me how I know.
It’s not worth getting upset about. If you can still manage to park your car properly and access your own property then ignore the neighbor and put it aside. Don’t let it worm into your life.
Planners and builders are causing issues like this across the country. Not enough space and too many cars outside properties, especially on modern estates. Parking issues with neighbors cause many problems and actual conflict.

No one has rights over parking on the hatched areas. There’s been a legal battle on our street with exactly the same circumstances, same maps same issues. Even though YOU own part of it and probably have a mortgage on it….Ask a competent lawyer. The only people to gain from this was the legal people.

- nods in agreement*
I used to live in a house with a similar layout. The three houses that used the shared driveway had equal rights of access and responsibility for upkeep. In the deeds of the house there was a clause that it was not for parking purposes. I was the equivalent of No75. When the previous owners of my house parked in the turning space a few times, No74 got a solicitor to write to them to ask them to stop (even though they didn't have a car). The previous owners of my house told me about this when we viewed, although No74 had changed hands by them anyway.
If it's like my case then Hackney wouldn't have the same clause - as no use of the shared drive - so no ability to object.

that 'tree cut in half' story has all the hallmarks of being totally fabricated for likes.
Not so sure, on my walk to the local there is a 'hedge' about 25m long and 3m tall that has been totally stripped one side. you can just see the branches of the other side. I imagine there is a story behind it!
ETA: Ok, I'll go to the pub and get a photo on route...
