Hi,
in 1994 I purchased a small plot of land behind my Mothers house, with the intention of building a house on the land for myself. At the time I applied for and got full planning for a private house. I did not proceed and planning lapsed. It was agreed at the time of purchase that my Mother would grant a right of way through her land inorder to give me access to my site. She has now become difficult and says she has no problem with this, but as soon as I mention both of us going to a solicitor to put it in writeing she backs out, and wants it put off until, she feels better, rain stops etc, this is going on for years, I need to move on.
I would not have bought the property unless I was offered the right of way, as it is landlocked.
I have been in and out of that property on foot and by vehicle since I bought it, cutting trees, maintaining property etc.
Can I register a right of way by establishment, ie having established a right of way by constant use, if I can how is this completed legally, what is the tme scale involved.
I would appreciate any help on this one.
