Aman has had to hire a lawyer and spent thousands of pounds fighting a plan to turn his driveway into an access road for a new house. Robert Medcalfe is locked in a legal battle over plans to change the use of the shared driveway.
Neighbour Alisson Roberto Teixeira has applied to build a two-storey semi-detached house behind Robert's home, and use the 2.7 metre driveway between two properties as an access road.
Robert said the plan is “completely unlawful” and says he has the deeds to prove that he has shared ownership rights of the drive. He said: “The whole thing relies on my consent because I’m the co-owner of the driveway he needs to fulfil this development.”
