We own one of two bungalows behind a pet shop chain, which also owns a piece of land in the middle. This land is used as a toilet by customers and their pets, and also for fly tipping. The store chain say they will do something about it, but haven’t, and in the meantime the trees have grown so high I no longer have a TV signal. What can I do?
On the face of it not a lot. Generally speaking you cannot force neighbours to maintain their property. Check that the pet shop chain actually does own the land by conducting an index map search at the Land Registry. You could try taking it over by fencing it off and using it as your own. The risk is that you will go to some expense only to find yourself evicted ultimately.
