OK guys need your help.
When I moved my horse I was told I could not park my 3.5 ton box at the new place- very annoying. However I decided I would try it at home instead. The reason I decided this is that it is, after all, just a van effectively, and there are already multiple vans on the estate of the same basic size. They are clearly works vans as they have commercial logos all over them. The box is in very good nick externally, white and clean, and without anything too excessive on it. The 'horse' decals are near transparent. As I'm an end house, from some trial and error, we found that parking it across my two bays allowed for my vehicle and my boyfriend's van to fit in my two allocated bays against my wall, so we don't interfere with anyone else, block any access, overshadow anyone's windows etc...
We've had bother with my neighbour (an alcoholic) about other things including dogs, washing machine, music playing all night (it never has...??), the guy's not well clearly, but that doesn't help me... and we suspect that he has now complained to the estate management about the box.
They have sent a letter to my specific address advising only that commercial vehicles cannot be parked on the estate.
By all online definitions I can find this is not a commercial vehicle unless they mean 'vans' in which case half the estate is breaching the rule.
At the moment I am thinking- ignore the letter and see what happens next.
Anyone think I shouldn't do this?
