Can anyone shed any light on this?
I own an orchard with a small river running past it.
There is a ford across the river..to the field the other side which has just changed ownership. The new owner lives on my side of the river and without consulting me has started using the ford for crossing.
When I bought the house my deeds showed that I owned the track running down to the ford..should the new owner have asked my permission or is he within his rights to start using it
The ford hasn't been used by vehicles since we last farmed the field probably in the mid nineties...bar the odd crossing by a horse now and then.
I don't mind him using it...just would have been courteous to talk to me.
It's all happend while I'm out of the country aswell.
Im sure he has done his homework and I'm guessing that by him acquiring the land it has given him the right to cross the river..as he owns half of it now.
TIA
