doing up cars in parking bays

Hi wonder if anyone knows anything on this.
I live in a ex housing association house. Most of the other houses are owner occupied but about 30% are tennants so the H.A. is involved in the up keep of area and has say on how things are done IE no satelitte dishes, no ball games on roads etc. There is no allocated parking but there are bays. Somes are part of road iyswim and others of the road like a carpark.
Anyway last summer our neighbour did up an old wreak. Did a beautiful job tbh but all the work was done in one of the carpark style bays. Car was untaxed.
A couple of people moaned about it but that was that.
Anyway it turns out someone shopped him to DVLA and HA. He was told to move it. Now this was about a year ago but a few weeks ago he asked if it me or DH,(DH and him don't really get on, we made mistake about his sons kicking their football against my kitchen window) that had done this. We said "no".
He said "better no have been" He then asked if was friend of mine Who he's also rubbed up wrong way, I said "doubt it."
He then went sounding off how he's going to get the person back as it is up to him waht he does in those spaces and he fully intends to do again.
What I'm wanting to know is is he right or is there a law on where you keep an untaxed car which you are working on.
TBH it makes no odds to me but I really don't like him threatening me or causing trouble like that.

Could you ask the council? If I recall correctly, you have to keep an unregistered car off the public highway, but whether a parking bay counts as the public highway, I don't know.

Anyway, unless he has exclusive use of a parking space, I think it is unfair of him to occupy one permanently. He is preventing anyone el;se from parking there.

DVLA page

If you scroll down the page, the relevant section is at the bottom

Thanks Tissy, that's a little clearer. I confirmed with my other neighbour and she said the bays are for parking only and that some one was asked to move their caravan. I wouldn't have problem with that or even this but he thinks it was me or DH and is now trying to stir things with my friend.
