errection of fence between two houses that share walkway

[ale]

Hi
can anyone advise if a neighbour can errect a fence up the middle (boundary) of a shared walkway, thus ristricting acess to my property.

if this happens i will be left will a walkway of about 400mm and i dont think that is enough to allow emergency services to the rear of the property and would also prevent me being able to take a double buggy out the rear of my house.

I have searched the 'Party Wall Act' and cannot find anything that gives a minimum legal distance.

Currently the distance between the two houses is 800mm.

Please help

Kind regards
Toni

How the hell can you put a fence up in a 800mm gap giving 400mm or less eachside.
The average person is wider than 400mm.

More info is needed, with some pictures.

The deeds of your house should say the walkway is communal and both properties have a common interest. It is not permissible to divide such a walkway in the way you describe.

I'm guessing the neighbour is trying to be an ass and prevent you taking a buggy down there( or threaten it) but this is not a course of action that is open to them.
