Neighbours petty parking

So we have a drive with a dropped kerb, facing the road to our left is a parking space and to the right the neighbours have a dropped kerb also.
The right hand side neighbour is a builder and he has a huge van which he parks over his drive.
for petty reasons he won’t speak to us anymore and semi thinks he owns the road as they’ve lived her the longest, they have another 2 vechicles parked on the road which don’t move for months at a time but have issues if somebody does the same thing.

he’s been parking within millimetres of our dropped kerb for months now, anyway we’ve had a painter for the last week and if we’re both home he’s been parking over our drive but obviously this means said neighbour can’t fit his van over his drive so he’s been deliberately blocking our painter in and once he’s left he’ll move his van as close as possible so nobody can park over our drive.
it’s such a big van getting off our drive means visability is 0 when driving off. We always reverse on and honestly have to inch forward and hope there’s no traffic coming and with having a normal parking space to the left if a van also parks there that’s a van each side with no viability either way.
what would you do? And thanks for reading, as its slightly long and boring

Park one car in your drive and the other outside? Where their van currently is.

The Van is parked over his own drive.

I agree. He’ll get really annoyed but make it clear that you’ll carry on doing so until he stops being ridiculous.
And get good cameras set up.
