I thought that houses, roads, towns, etc were for us, the population of this country to LIVE in. We all have individual lifestyles and use our homes and local envirement as individuals. It would appear that they, the authorities, are trying to clone us all into their own version of what a citizen should be. Sounds like we've been this way before with a certain Herr Hitler!!

Firstly, I would check out the Tenancy Agreement so you know exactly what you have agreed to.
Your neighbours can help by saying the vehicle was better parked on your drive but be careful that you don't end up having to move it away completely.
Hope you can get it sorted - let us know

I have to suffer workers from the town centre parking on my road from 7am to 6pm (i.e. allday) They won't pay for their parking in the town centre (even though the council have provided a multi story where they can park for less than £3 a day; which is always at least half empty) because they can park in the street where I LIVE.(BTW my work vehicle is parked on the drive which is no where near big ebough for the MH). Now, you are saying I shouldn't park my paid for, road taxed MH on the stereet where I live because?
I really want to say something here but have decided against it for te sake of the board..[insert keep stum smiley here]

Sadly an Aire would not help those having problems parking at or outside their homes I think. Unless of course you think councils would allow Aire's to be used for what effectively is storage.......Secure ?

When I planned my RV purchase, I looked at the deeds, saw the covenant and made other arrangements for storage, before I bought it.
Seemed the thing to do really, when I was chatting to the neighbours, I mentioned the RV and a couple were pleased that I had consulted them about the thing being parked in my drive, ( didnt really consult, I was nattering but, why spoil their fantasy) another was uncommitted.
Really though, I just wanted to say that in agreement with another reply, I didnt think that everyone would gaze lovingly on a big, box on wheels from their front windows, so found somewhere else.
It was part of the logic when planning to buy.

I think the tenancy agreement is probably somewhat different - and more easily enforceable - than any covenant in a sales deed.
When undertaking research for my web site I was informed by a number of councils that there was a restriction on the heights of vehicles which could be parked by their tenants on driveways/hardstandings. I assume that this is also the case with a housing association.
Interestingly, in some towns (including most of London), there is a restriction on the heights/weights of vehicles which may be parked on the road, especially at night, in order to deter drivers of large commercial vehicles from parking in residential areas.

I too can confirm that there is a difference between covenants and tenancy agreements.
You may see from my other post a few days ago that we too have had a problem with a neighbour ref parking our motorhome on our own drive.
Yesterday we made several phone calls to check our situation with planning the council etc etc the covenant on our property was for ten years, this period has now expired. The council confirmed that they are not interested unless our property was under a tenancy agreement.............which of course it is not.

For what it's worth, my thoughts are that if you cannot park your motorhome sensibly, on your own land, then you should look to either move, put the van in storage or not own one. Simple as that.
Understand that's going to upset some, however before purchasing a motorhome you should consider your situation and more importantly your neighbours. When we lived in a flat, we put our van in storage. When moving house we had to instantly write-off dozens of potential properties before stepping foot in them as the parking was not suitable.
It annoys me to see a local resident near where I live park his Swift Voyager in one of the very few "communal/visitor" parking spaces in their street whilst their double width driveway remains mostly unused.
Thank god I'm not his neighbour. Very selfish.

Some of us are fortunate and are able to live in harmony with our neighbors.
Others sadly are not.
Some buy houses with covenants which usually have a time span on them.
My neighbour complaine d for years about my caravans and later mh parked on my 90 foot screened front garden , whilest she had a covenant forbidding the same.
After 5 years I put her out of her misery and informed her that my bungalow was built in 1945 a long time before developers put restrictive covenants on new developements.
I rent several properties and am always trying to help my tenants and there neighbours in disputes. If you have no luck with the housing assoc. try to look for somewhere else to live.
Avoid Devon

Sorry but I disagree entirely with your posts. We live in a town, with no off road parking. The only option is to park our van on the road. It's no different to someone up the road parking their works van.
Not all of us can/want to live somewhere where we have loads of room or a driveway to park our vehicles. I pay taxes - I'm entitled to park it on the road. I've asked the neighbours and they're fine with it. 2 years - no problems.
Griff.
