Boundary Dispute
further to neighbour's shed; he has got solicitors threatening me with Court action if I dont respond to their letter! He wants a vehicle access at rear of his shed (he has front access only) and rear would incorporate 250sq mts of my land. His solicitors demand surveyors draw up the boundary (in his favour - no doubt) and register same with LR, to stop me knocking down fences he puts on my land.
Must I respond to his solicitors as am happy with boundary as it is on LR OS map dated Sept 2017. Can he change the OS map at LR without my consent?
