AIBU to have left a note? Parking dispute

[Pinkbabe1]

Diagram attached. Neighbour basically has always parked their car in a strip of land right outside our house which is not a parking space. They have a garage but have two cars so park one of them on this strip of land.

We have been tolerant of that and have not complained in the past, despite that they have never asked if it is ok to park right outside our house. They often come back late at night banging their car doors repeatedly which is right by our daughters bedroom and wakes her up. They are also know to have let their visitors park behind them which is infront of my car so I have to ask them to move when I want to go out.

Over the past couple of days they seems to be parking the car further back so that it encroaches on where I reverse my car off my drive (diagram isn't good but it's very tight)

Last night when I returned late they had parked it so far back that I couldn't get on my drive without hitting their car, so had to park on the street. As it was late, I left a note saying:

"hello - didn't want to knock the door as its late but I couldn't get my car on the drive tonight as your car is parked so far back that it's blocking our drive. Please could you park further forward - Thankyou"

When I left for nursery this morning I noticed the note was gone but the car had not been moved. When I returned the car had been parked so far forward it was parked on part of House 2's garden. Said neighbour then appeared from his house saying very sarcastically that I must be a terrible driver if I could not get my car on the drive with his car in that position and the note was not necessary.

AIBU?!

Post him a copy of the deeds, then start planting big fuck off prickly hedges that scratch the living day lights out of anyone who touches them.
If it is an access point leave enough room for walking space only.

Check that your landlord hasn't made an arrangement about the parking. Check that the neighbour wasn't specifically told when he rented the house that he could park there - he may genuinely believe it's his space. Then get the big planters.

the owner of your house should be unwilling to let anyone establish a right to use his land.

As piglet says tell the landlord that he needs to stop it if he doesn't want them to establish a right of way. Make sure he realises it's in his interests to put a stop to it, not just yours. - or how long has it been happening? Could the right of way already have been established?

Surely a right of way only allows you to get From A to B via someone else's land C.
It doesn't give you the right to park on C

I doubt it has been established when a friend of mine wanted to extend on to what she thought was her space and had used since moving in over 15years ago it was actually a visitors space and as they couldn't prove they had exclusively used it without issue it had to remain as it was and the plans changed.

My commercial premises have a carpark.

We put a barrier down every Christmas and padlock it for a few days. It is said that this will prevent anyone claiming that they have had long-term free access.
