My house is landlocked and I have only pedestrian access across the neighbour’s front garden. I have MS which is worsening, and need to be able to drive to my front door. The neighbours initially agreed to this, but then changed their minds. Can I force them to give me access on disability grounds?
I’m afraid not. You probably have an easement or a Right of Way across their land on foot, but it’s entirely down to your neighbours whether they allow you vehicular access as well. To allow this could devalue their property, which may well be the reason they had a change of heart. The legislation governing disabled access applies only to service providers I’m afraid, and not to private individuals.
