My neighbour has a right of access through my garden to get to hers (up/down flat with the garden split down the center from back of the building) she has had her garden landscaped & has built a 7 foot wide path (over 2meter's) & a fence around it...through my garden. I came home from work & hit the roof at the guy building it, said take that down now, thats my land - but he refused & said he was just carrying out his orders/doing his job & any dispute is between me, downstairs & the council I didnt have time to do anything about it then so its finished now!!
Does anyone know the laws of access & common paths etc
I'll get a pic up once I find out how to on this comp.

if its on your property you can take it down i would have thought the right of access was just so she can go through your garden to access hers and not to do and changes to ur property
eg. she doesnt own any of your garden but is allowed to go though to acces her garden and you cant stop her from doing so

This is what the done, my gardens to the outside, hers is inside.
Now they asked permission to build a path (footpath?) I agreed verbally - this is not a footpath!!

Not really Rob, I had just finished clearing my garden ready to build a 6ft fence all round before they jumped on my toes & built this!! Basically they have built that in my garden & its not what I had in mind at all!!
It might look ok but its on a meter+ of my land & possibly could cause problems when coming to sell??

What are you not understanding bud??
My garden is on the left with the slabbed area & the garden shed. I had an excavator a few weeks ago to flatten everything to build new fences & finish the job off.
Last week downstairs got in a team of landscapers who have jummped on my toes & built a fence down the middle (thats ok with me - saves me doing it!) but have also made a 2 metre wide path & continued the fence along that on my property!! Like so -
^ Thats what im not happy about!!
Also they basically used my garden as a building site in the process - this belongs to them -
They got it delivered to MY garden & have made a fucking mess

I told the guy building it not to because he was on my land but he ignored me & done it anyway!!
I phoned the Citizens Advice Bureau & they said to go to council planning Dept.

I was going to rip the lot down on Friday night but thought maybe I could get in bother then!!
So, im just going to finish doing my job (putting a fence round the rest of the garden) & wait for the nod from the council / courts to get that taken back down!

Common ground which she has paid to tidy up? Doesn't sound like all that bad a deal tbh, apart from the size of it.

Which is why I agreed to a path Ian...................thats not a path its a patio!!
Also the fence just should not be continued through my garden at all!!

If thats in your property I take it there are no laws against you removing it tbh.

She is taking the piss a little there
Would look OK without the fence sectioning it off. If I were you I'd just remove what your not happy with and leave whatever you take up on her land so you cant be accused of getting rid of her property.

might as well do this, they are taking the piss imo, workmanship looks good, cant see the point in that fence imo, gives her no privacy whatsoever! I would be well pissed off if they had taken some of my land and used m,y garden to store their building materials without permission.
Least if you put a high fence up you well have some privacy.

Have you tried speaking to her? Maybe tell her that she has built on your land and so will need to remove it
