I have had an unwanted visitor approach my residential property (accessing a tiered back garden, on to my decking were you can see right to my living space via the glass front).
I have a case open with this person for harassment and stalking with the police last year over a series of incidents. We recently moved home and have kept private as this person formerly went to lengths to get my previous address.
They have now, somehow, got my new address and found an excuse to visit my property.
Police are treating this as a separate incident from the stalking as there has been a long period of time where no incidents have occurred. That along with having no proof that person found my address ‘with intent’. I am anxious at my invasion of privacy and this starting up again, it has been mine and my child’s safe space and it is also my place of work. Since it happened, I have felt like I am being watched. Nothing has been done by the police but I am certain this will happen again.
My question is - for the time being- what are my rights over someone approaching and accessing my property (in this case my garden and decking), is this illegal without permission? And is there something I can do to put this in place, send a letter or anything to reinstate that I do not give permission for them to enter my garden. Can I do that? I feel like I need something formal in place in case I need something to back me up to show that the behaviour is unwanted in case the whole harassment starts up again. I am in the U.K.
