That's a funny little strip of land, see how your neighbours fence sticks out onto what would be the logical continuation of the strip you have behind the your property.

It would certainly be easily done as there is plenty road access that other neighbours use for garage access so it would be just a case of negotiating terms in access.

If it was me I would just do it anyway

Red boundary with a blue bit at the bottom of our land.


I've uploaded the document.
You guys might make more sense of it than me.

I have toyed with the idea of doing it but I don't want to get stung or something to kick off and get screwed over.

There is a proper lane at the bottom of the house that you can drive along.
All houses that back on to that lane has a garage apart from us cause of that stupid strip of land.

Yeah all that legal babble from times of yore needs a person of greater expense to decode than us meek mortals.

But at least you should be able to easily find out what you can and can't do as the piece of land is highlighted

I think you need to obtain and look at: NOTE: Copy Deed filed under DN19347 dating from 1960. Another £6?

The document you've uploaded is primarily about the transaction for the triangle to be sold to the vicarage as it was presumably surplus to the developers needs when they built your estate. And rights of access for maintenance and support, fencing hedges etc.
No mention of any rights of access for you over the triangle so far...

Get a JCB to "ease" a hole through the wall and explain to the Diocese that it was an "Act of God" - they couldn't very well dispute that.

LOL!

The problem with just doing it is when you come to sell.

The previous owner of my house had done quite a lot of stuff (including re-siting a drive entrance over a ransom strip, funnily enough) without proper planning permission. He got away with it until we came to buy it and had it surveyed.

Our solicitor made him apply for a whole load of retrospective planning consents (at some considerable expense and inconvenience) so that it was 'right' before we bought it.

Heed this advice.

As somebody in his 25th year in the mortgage/property industry, I can't begin to tell you the problems that will arise when you come to either sell, or possibly remortgage, if you just go ahead and do stuff without following the correct processes.

It won't be cheap, but it'll be a whole load cheaper and less stressful than trying to fix it later.
