"'This laneway on my neighbour's land is the only way in to my field and I've been using it as long as I can remember. But I'm worried the new owners could block me'"
"Dear Mary Frances, I hope you can advise me because I am in a very troubling situation. I have a field that I can only reach by travelling up a laneway that lies entirely on my neighbour's property. For as long as I can remember, that laneway has been the only way in or out of the field. There is no gate anywhere else, no track, no alternative entrance. It has always been that laneway or nothing."
A laneway across a neighbour's property provides the sole access to a field. The laneway has been used for as long as memory permits, with no alternative gates, tracks, or entrances. New owners of the neighbouring property may seek to block access, creating immediate concern about losing entry to the field. The situation raises issues about legal rights of access, potential easements, and the need for resolution to secure continued ingress and egress. The lack of any other route means stopping access would leave the field effectively landlocked and inaccessible.
