Neighbour's new drive entrance

A new vehicular access would need planning consent.

If it had been applied for the council would have to post notices or inform close neighbours.

You should check with the council as to whether permission has been granted.

The chances are that no permission was given and in that case you should inform the enforcement officer in the planning department.

Profile: I joined Sarginsons from university as an articled clerk in 1970. I am now the managing partner and have wide experience in all aspects of the law normally dealt with in private practice. I believe that a modern high street practice must adapt to the hefty demands of clients and deliver it's services according to the clients wishes.
