Arghhh parking and annoying neighbour...

We live on a new build estate (we it was new build when we moved in!) but we've been here 10 years. Our house is in a sort of cul de sac with 4 other houses. The gardens are all curved so our garden backs onto the driveway to the other houses...behind the fence there is a piece of land which originally had bushes etc on which have now died.With all the storms we had a few months ago our fence got damaged so we need to replace it. We looked at our deeds and according to them we own the land where the bushes are as well.
Bit of a long story but the fence panels are a strange shape so to try and make it slightly cheaper the fencing guy has suggested moving the fence out another 30cm which would create a better angle for the fence. Neighbour has gone absolutely mental at this. Have come home tonight and found her boyfriends car parked right across the back of our garden behind our fence.
Just wondered if anyone could look at this picture and tell me whether IABU with being very annoyed with them effectively trespassing on our property and if there is a huge issue with us moving the fence ever so slightly??

OliviaTheFox · 04/08/2017 17:53

Oops!
Well she should learn to read and to park.
😆 Good luck op.

She's probably pissed everyone thinks she's wrong.

Is this thread still going?

BoneyBackJefferson · 04/08/2017 18:31

best of luck op

I agree with the poster that suggested the plants have died because your ndn drives over them.

BoneyBackJefferson · 04/08/2017 18:31

just a quick thought.

How about a huge thorn bush there?

It's been a victorious day on mumsnet where cfns have lost (patio door putters and cheeky parking dog groomers.)

Let's hope you win this and make it nice people 3 selfish bastards 0

Neighbour, if you're still reading this, iheartttc is completely in the right.
You need to get better at reversing and parking using only the hatched area on the plans!

Shyposter · 04/08/2017 20:44

Whether you're allowed to move the fence or not, the muddy/gravelled area still belongs to you so your neighbour shouldn't be parking on it or using it to swing into her driveway!

TakesTheCake · 04/08/2017 21:34

If OP has requested this thread to be removed, because the neighbour has seen it, how come it is still here? Hope she is OK.

MyPatronusIsAUnicorn · 04/08/2017 21:39

So what if she is kicking off? She is wrong. She has nothing to kick off about!

EnriqueTheRingBearingLizard · 04/08/2017 22:14

I'd get digging deep in the muddy area, replace the soil and replant with something relatively mature. Hah!

Having seen the photo I'd say it's beyond the fence for a sight-line and that the hatched area possibly houses a service strip underground, so that would be the best option and close board fencing rather than panels, it'd be stronger too and last longer I think.

MsAdorabelleDearheartVonLipwig · 05/08/2017 21:26

AnotherLegoBrick The Op said hers is the only garden with wooden fencing, all the neighbours have brick walls, so it wouldn't matter what she had.

Anyway. Poof goes the thread!

Neighbour ... learn to park and look at the deeds. You are in the wrong. Learn from it.
Why be so dam petty? It makes for a miserable life.
