To move NDN's bins off my land

50 replies

rshipnchanger · 10/05/2018 14:24

I've asked him several times not to put his bin on my land at the front. It's concrete so difficult to put in a fence.

Last time I moved his bin he came and had a right go at me for trespassing, I can just about access my land on my property but much easier using his drive.

So AIBU to move it again by a meter? I can do it with a long stick from my land if going on his is unacceptable. I'm worried about encroachment and him using my land as if it's his.

Am confused... For some reason he's putting his bin on your land, and for ease of access you're using his land?

BiddyPop · 10/05/2018 14:32

Sorry, I'm terribly confused by how you can't use your land without going on his, but he can get his bin on your land without trespassing....

Diagram please?

concretesieve · 10/05/2018 14:32

Diagram, please Smile

Put some heavy planters where he likes to put his bins?

Snowysky20009 · 10/05/2018 14:35

It sounds like there's a tricky layout and that both of you sometimes need to make use of each other's land. Unless his bin is causing you a problem, it would be neighbourly to let him put it there as long as he continues to let you access your property via his.

Move his buns every time off your land. I’d go on his land to pull them off

Well he doesn't need to use my land it's just easier for him. a slimmer person can access my whole property without needing his land either.

fence using a block fence style, concrete blocks on concrete and remove a small part of the hedge to make a gap to access your land

Wildlingofthewest · 10/05/2018 14:43

If it bothers you that much just get a fence put up!

BMW6 · 10/05/2018 14:44

Push them back onto his. Put heavy planters on your side so he cant get his bins on your land.

shakingmyhead1 · 10/05/2018 14:45

you need to clearly define your land as if he sells he might just let the buyers believe its his and then it gets tricky

MrsMozart · 10/05/2018 14:46

Ta for diagram (very neat).

His bins deffo shouldn't be on your land. Can't see why you need to go on his though?

Re the bins - run a tape from the hedge to some sort of post?

Idontdowindows · 10/05/2018 14:48

Stop using his land. Until you do, you haven't a leg to stand on.

mamia60 · 10/05/2018 14:50

So he leaves his bin on YOUR property - and then bollocks you for walking on HIS property to return his bin? I'd be giving it a right good shove with the stick and if it tips over and spills on his driveway then so-be-it.

ILikeMyChickenFried · 10/05/2018 14:50

We're allowed one wheely bin each here. My NDN has a sneaky 2nd bin which they leave in my garden (we've no fences). One day I think the council will figure it out and it'll be me in trouble :-/

TroubledLichen · 10/05/2018 14:51

You want to use his driveway to access your property as it’s easier for you, he wants to use your driveway for his bins as it’s easier for him. This sounds like a perfectly reasonable give and take. If you don’t want the bins on your land then surely you can’t expect him to keep allowing you access via his driveway?! Hmm

Alternatively just chop down your hedge so that you can fit through and put up a proper boundary fence.

I don't use his land at all. I only ever use his land to move his bins of my land.

If he didn't go on my land id have no need to go on his land!

No I only want to use his land to get his bins of my land. if that makes sense. I have no need otherwise

MrsMozart · 10/05/2018 14:56

Ah! Misunderstood. I thought you were using hos land to gain access to yours.

In that case get at least a tape strung up along the boundary line.

PestymcPestFace · 10/05/2018 14:58

Use it or lose it.
Trim your hedge so that you can access your land.
Put up some sort of boundary, even if it is a purple ribbon.

Can you access that bit from the back?

TroubledLichen · 10/05/2018 15:04

That makes more sense, your OP made it sound like you couldn’t fit round the side of your own house so needed to use his driveway on a daily basis!! In that case I’d still recommend ditching the hedge and a proper boundary fence. In the meantime put something where he’s putting his bins like heavy planters, or anything you have lying around in your shed and place them up to the boundary line so he can’t come onto your side.

MyKingdomForBrie · 10/05/2018 15:08

He’s a dickhead. Put in writing that he is not permitted to place his bins on your land, and put up any kind of fence that you can.
