Neighbour not happy with my fence?

[chcocooo]

So basically after months of neighbours kids:

Playing-on my drive
Trespassing on my drive
Chucking footballs at my living room window.
Constantly standing by my living room window
Shouting and waking my toddlers up.

I finally got a fence installed on Monday which has solved all the issues.

But now my neighbour will apparently struggle to fit two cars on her drive as before the man and his partner would park close on the boundary and his door would open on my bit.
He has asked if I could move the fence further on my bit but it will impact my own ability to have 2 cars on my drive.

AIBU to decline this as it’s on my own drive?

🤣🤣 how cheeky!! If they kept control of theor children he would have been able to get out of his car

You would be unreasonable to do anything but laugh in the CFs face for that request!

Just say the fence has to be on the boundary to maintain the integrity of the legal boundary, if that makes sense. If you put it anywhere else over the years the boundary gets eroded, who owns what etc.

So they want you to move your boundary fence, so they have some of your land (for free) just because they want it.

hahaha, the only reply is “the fence is on the boundary, it cannot be anywhere else” and repeat

Love when a person stands up to these feckers. Move your fence to accommodate his entitled arse? What a pair of Cunty Fuckers (Cheeky doesn't do it justice)

FAFO 👏

Ignore. They have a textbook case of car driver's entitlement disease.

They are just trying to make trouble because you put a fence up and they can’t get away with their awful behaviour any longer. It’s no good trying to explain as they will keep badgering you, say no and walk away. Install cameras up pointing at your drive and fence so they can’t do anymore to disrespect you and your property.

"Hey neighbour, can you essentially gift me a slice of your land so I can park on it?"

🤣 the audacity

Nope stand your ground, they dont respect your boundary so it's tough.

Nope absolutely not. Stand firm op. Please don’t give in.

Well if they had sorted out their kids you wouldn't have put the fence up. They didn't so you did. The fence is on the boundary.

I had such a small drive in one home and we managed to squeeze two cars on there. And so can they. This isn't your problem.

YABVU...for not attaching a drawing. Even though you've explained the sitution clearly a picture is still mandatory.

As long as the fence is within your boundary, on your land and you have no covenants to say you can't add a fence between the two properties, then your neighbours can jog on.

Do not move it!
My ex neighbours squeezed 2 cars on their drive which meant that when they got out of the car nearest to us, their door opened onto our drive and they stepped out onto our drive. Got to the point where I struggled to open my own car door fully if I drove forwards onto the drive, so I ended up reversing onto it but further over nearer their drive. They weren't impressed but there just isn't the room for two cars!

I was also thinking a camera is needed asap because I would be expecting them to have an "accident" with the fence

He wants you to give him some of your land so he can open his car door more easily? 🤣 . The only possible answer is a confused look and “no, the fence is staying on the boundary”.

As long as the fence is on the boundary then it's tough luck. Should have parented their children. They will just have to come up with a parking solution that works for them. Either parking their cars in a different configuration or if there is grass/ flower boarder at the side of their drive then convert that (paying out of their own pocket) to widen their drive.

The outrageous audacity, thinking you would gave him some of your land so that he can park as he likes.

I don’t understand why you have to even ask this…

This. Stand your ground

Do not move the fence OP. Tough for them. Maybe if they’d been more considerate you wouldn’t have installed the fence

As long as it’s definitely on your land then no, you tell them absolutely not!

Lol, no.

Blimey, that is next level CF behaviour! Just tell him no and leave it at that.

Of course YANBU, but I'd be inclined to say 'why not take my keys and use my whole house for your convenience '
