However, many people find that their relationships with their neighbours have deteriorated to the level where permission has been refused.
The law recognises the difficult position that this places landowners in.
The Access to Neighbouring Land Act makes it possible to apply for an access order which requires the neighbour in question to grant access for the specified purpose. The purposes available include:
