preventing parking
What are my rights?
There is a track which runs adjacent to the wall of my house which provides access to eight garages (including my own)and another house. It is not registered as belonging to anyone and is not public. It is about 2 vehicles wide. To still allow access to the garages, cars occasionally park less than 60cms from my house wall, sometimes in front of my living room window, sometimes in front of my kitchen window and external gas meter and flue. Someone slamming their car door or running the engine makes my house vibrate, sometimes at night. The bleep from a remote car door opener would wake me. 1) Do I have rights to prevent people parking this close to my house? 2) Do I have rights to claim the parking spaces my own and erect a "private parking" notice? M.K. |

M.K. Try and find out who the land belongs to, it might belong to the house but be required for access, if so put a sign up and clamp any unauthorised parking, charging them £100 parking fine! (Could be a nice little earner!) Or have a word with the other garage owners and put a gate across the access, giving them all keys of course, but then again it might be one of them parking their! Or put one of these http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/...75111&id=34974 near by your wall. |

AIUI if the land owner cannot be traced it belongs to the parish or town council and comes under highway rules. If they wanted to they could install double yellow lines, but they wouldn't want to if there is no traffic obstruction and I don't think the parking causing a nuisance to one house would weigh very heavily with them. Is it an unadopted dirt track, if not who tarmacs it. I will see if I can check up on this as it happens a lot in my village which has a lot of unowned streets. rusty |

You probably don't have these rights but a half dozen plastic traffic cones should do the trick anyway. |

I think it's all down to the owner of the track. I don't think you have any of the rights mentioned above (IANAL). If it really is a private track, buy a couple of old cars and park them there... There is no owner on paper, not even the council. Though 8 garages, 1house, my house, the environment agency and rail maintenance people have used it for access for many years. Ideally I want to keep the side of my house clear of cars, or use it for temporary visitors parking. |

I am under the impression that I have some kind of say over what happens within 1M of my house walls. I also have two windows facing it, which would be partly obscured by a parked vehicle. There is also a gas meter+gas stop cock and a low gas flue on the wall. The other thing is that I sometimes get comments from the garage owners about vehicles parked there which are zilch to do with me, though about twice a week my friends/visitors park there (sensibly) since I only have one parking space. I've therefore been telling strangers not to park there. Some neighbours say that nobody should park there but it would be me who would end up policing it, something which I would have little incentive to do if I can't occasionally use it. I would have to switch to parking nazi mode twice a week and that's just not worth the aggro. |

The fact that it is not recorded as having an owner at the Land Registry only means that it has not changed ownership since registration became compulsory. It does not mean that nobody owns the land. There is no such thing as unowned land in England, although tracing who does own the land might not be possible. A solicitor might be able to find out who owns it, and could advise you as to whether you, either alone or jointly with the other garage / house owners, have any chance of gaining ownership by adverse possession.

I wanted the manager of the offices (part of the NHS) opposite our house to do somethng like that. He said he couldn't because he'd have had to obtain planning permission. I should have remembered that we (school governors) could get permission for a similar notice, fixed to a wall with the owner's consent, directing people to the tucked-away school.

M.K. I can only advise you to obtain a copy of your deeds and see what they say about this land. If, as you say, you have a garage that forces you to drive over this land, then I would think that your deeds will mention your rights of access over it. I am in a similar situation, but at the front of my hose. The deeds state that I can park there, (they were badly put together, along with lots of other deeds in this area) but I also have rights of access over it along with my four neighbours who share this right. As soon as any one parks on it, we all lose the right of passage over it. It's as simple as that. Dave |

However, the rules were tightened up a couple of years ago and it is more difficult now. It really needs professional advice to do it. Colin Bignell |
rusty That would be good, thanks. Unfortunately my expert with the legal books is at home with flu, but I found this on the web about unadopted roads http://www.barsby.com/article3.pdf So it looks like it's a legal minefield. See also this parliamentary question on unadopted roads, which come under the highways act 1980 sections 205-218. http://www.publications.parliament.u...t/20717w20.htm Your first option is probably to write to the clerk of the town/parish council and ask an opinion. They will have seen similar local problems and will tell you what is legally feasible. Which is probably not a lot. The residents in a private street of about 20 houses hereabouts put up their own no-parking notices along the lines of "This is a private road, no parking, no turning". As long as the council turns a blind eye, as they probably will, this might have some effect (especially if you drew a fuzzy wheel clamp picture on it), however it has no legal force and a busybody can try to have the signs removed. As this itself would be a legal procedure, and there are probably no penalties for putting the signs up anyway, you would be pretty safe for a few years. rusty |

There is no 'adverse right of access' because you already *have* a right of access along that lane. There is no adverse possession because you have not taken exclusive possession of the land, you have simply overhung it. Owain |

If it really is that much of a safety issue to you get your meter moved on to your own land where you have complete control over it and get your flue lifted higher. |

Thanks for the info. I have actually put "89 Private parking" on my wall which has had some effect in keeping people away. I think the people using it (legitimately) for access actually prefer not to have anyone parking there as it's easier to use the drive and garages, so they haven't taken any action as I only let my visitors use it twice a week and tell others to move on. I think the numerous neighbours with access twigged that it's the least of various evils, since, if I didn't bother keeping people off it, there would be cars parked there all the time. I would have much less incentive to move strangers if I couldn't use it myself and they can't be bothered. They probably also realise that future owners of my house might not give a blind hoot and park there permanently regardless, as well as strangers, since the house only has one tiny garage and one private parking space. There might be a chance that the "89 Private..." sign would give a future owner of my house posession of the parking spaces next to the house (adversly?). Again, from the point of view of neighbours using the access, that would be the least of evils since it would at least be clear of cars when the new owner wasn't in. It sure is complicated... M.K. |

Again, from the point of view of neighbours using the access, that would be the least of evils since it would at least be clear of cars when the new owner wasn't in. If your house is #89 it must be on the corner of the main road and the side road which rings a lot of bells. From experience here, one way you could get a no parking order would be if traffic was finding it difficult getting off the main road due to persistent bad parking in the side road and backing up or obstructing traffic in the main road as a consequence. But the police would need to investigate and support the application with evidence from neighbours and the application needs to go via the parish/town council and get approval by the county inspector of highways. There will be a queue of hundreds of such applications and yours will be a small scale one at the bottom of the list so you could well be waiting for 4 to 5 years as it grinds on its way through the system, so its a major project. And the downside is, while it's hard to get a parking order, it's even harder, if not actually impossible, to get rid of one. So if you succeeded, you or a new owner would effectively be prevented from parking up at the side of your own house for generations to come. Tricks used here are (a) to find some red cones and put those out (probably illegal) (b) get a smallish old banger and park it outside your own house permanently (probably legal). This would cost you the tax disk and MOT per annum. rusty |
