My parents had a similar issue with the guy opposite parking his big truck (a commercial vehicle) outside his house making it difficult to reverse out AND he often parked outside my parents house for their shade
My folks, who are lovely BTW, approached him one day and asked him nicely if he would mind not parking directly outside their house as it made it difficult to see out their driveway and they had children with kids visiting often who needed to park out the front. He was a rude ***** and basically told my poor little mum to F-offHe then threatened my dad when he approached him! They live in such a nice street that it was really worrying so we phoned the council
We found out it was illegal for a commercial vehicle to be parked in a suburban street for any length of time and they had received complaints about him before and he'd already received a ticket from them AND they were on the way to give him another ticket.
Well he ended up apologising to my parents (but was still damn rude) and said he thought they had caused him to get the first ticket.... No, but we were to blame for the second oneHe had to park his truck in his driveway and he did so from that point onwards.
We had the last laugh when A. he reversed into the garage one day and damaged the fascia of the garage (it's a rental so he had to pay for it!) and B. he moved to a place around the corner and we drove past one day and noticed his truck, which was on the lawn, had been graffitied!!Karma
So you may have a leg to stand on and it couldn't hurt to phone the council so you know what's allowed and what isn't it before you chat with them. Hopefully you'll have a better experience than what my parents did!
