I've moved into a block which has a mix of communal and private land out front. The freeholder has turned his private land into a public car park - thus granting the public access to our communal area. This has led to all kinds of antisocial behaviour - people living in our bin area, drug deals, people pissing and shitting in our hallways, fly tipping, the lot.
I'm wondering - does anyone know the point at which our rights as residents come up against his right to make money off the land as a freeholder? This place would be lovely if we could close the gate and slow down the antisocial behaviour a little.
Does he have / need planning permission to change the land into commercial parking? Used this when someone was using an empty plot near us for skip lorry parking
That's a good goddamned point. I think this happened back in the 80s so it's not mega easy to find but I'll be able to dig it out through the council. Thank you!
Here's a weird one.
