I have a house where the school behind owns part of my driveway.
Basically they own a small triangle of land across the front of my driveway. The land is part of the school's accessway (the school is a rear section) but isn't (and has never) been used as the school driveway is wide and has a pathway beside it.
Now it has been this way forever so far as I can see - my property built a drive on what is technically the schools land and no one cares.
Except me now that I want to develop the rear of the section and can't have an easement for the rear properties for a piece of land I don't own.
It has been suggested that I get a legal easement over the school's triangle but the question is - who to contact?
The original land was taken under the public works act in the 50's.
So do I contact the school or the Ministry?
If the Ministry - which bit?
Anyone had experiance in this?
