Good afternoon,
I own a house which solely owns the land which has an easement over to allow two neighbours access to their homes. No issues 25 years all good never blocked by any one I keep on top of hedge etc looks good neighbours appreciate this. New neighbour two years ago let someone park part on his bit and crossing over on to my bit pulled him up on this,im ok for people to park solely on his property but not ok with any part on my property said I was being petty as I can still pass, not happened since.
Now plans gone in to extend he has shown my land in his block plans and quoting distances from proposed extension to over my drive and not his boundary as show on land register. This makes it look like his 6m extension is 6 m away but it's actual 2/m away to land register boundary?
Also moved where he enters his property further down my property and not the current position as easement, currently there is a fence owed by me and in deeds which state I'm esponsable for. All boundaries have been same for 25 years nothing has changed since he bought property. He has had a boundary survey do has said in passing some other neighbours have renewed fence in wrong plases but he showed me the spray marks surveyor marks on my boundary and the are exactly where fences are. Also runs a buliding business from home lads coming in morning ,skips once a week bring waste back from jobs to load in skips at home and also a beauty business 3/4days week approx 10 cars a day down drive ?
What recourse do I have ?
Can anyone recommend i professional to draft planning objection
Thanks

You have three/four distinct issues there:
1) If your only concern about the extension is that it's too close, then that's a simple letter to the planners pointing out that the plans are erroneous and misstate the boundary. They may care a great deal about this as it impacts fire separation distances.

2) If he's wanting to change where he enters his property, and use land over which he has no rights, then that is a commercial discussion. The planners are unlikely to care.

3) If you're worried about the easement, then you need to get someone to look at "intensification" https://www.pinneytalfourd.co.uk/intensification-e... If you're worried about the land usage then there's a whole slew of things you could look into from Waste Carrier Licensing, environmental permits/exemptions, etc.

Ultimately you'd need to decide what your objective is, how much you'd be prepared to throw at lawyers, and how much you want to fall out with him.

Apart from the word salad, this has potential to be interesting.

Why (the fk) do posters write like that?

Did you go to skool?

Is English not your first language?

Re-post it in a legible form (get AI to do it if you can't) and we will gladly take a look.
