UK Homeowners Can Take Legal Action Against Unauthorized Driveway Turning

UK homeowners can pursue legal action against unauthorized driveway use, with mediation advised first and local parking rules varying by authority, experts say.

  • Homeowners are advised that turning around on someone else's driveway without permission is generally illegal, and they can take legal action over unauthorised driveway use.
  • Shared-Driveway arrangements include two types: accessway with mutual right-of-way and shared driveway easement where one owner grants access, Checkatrade states.
  • Before suing, homeowners should attempt mediation and check local parking rules, which vary by local authorities, to ensure proper legal steps.
