Hi
We own a small plot of land within a field adjacent to our own house/garden.
This small plot has road/lane frontage. Due to the remainder of the field now being sold/developed on, we will no longer have access via the existing field entrance.
As I understand it, ownership of plots like ours extends not only to the limit of the lane frontage but actually up to the centre of the lane.
If so, my question is this - can we simply remove a section of hedge (as it seems to be 'ours') to allow us access to our small plot?
Are we obliged to inform anyone? council?
We will be consulting with our solicitor, but would like to get some feedback on this beforehand if possible.
Thanks
