You're not going to like this but the vast majority of people are likely to say he's being completely reasonable and you're the one being unreasonable.

He is under no obligation to accept the crappy situation someone else made or inconvenience himself or change his life to improve the situation for someone else. He worked hard to buy his land and he likes it just the way it is. The sooner you accept this the better off you will be.


So FPNI? Seriously, many have already told you this. If this land us so great without any "gotchas" it wouldn't be cheap, even if it IS from a family member or family friend.




Does the ROR in yellow align with the existing farm drive at all? That could give you a little better legal standing to improve the driveway to reach more of the property.

IANAL, but you may be able to put an unimproved drive in and give it some time and point out that the drive is existing and they don't find record if the denied drive. It's a big gamble, one with high stakes, but it's what I would do. But then again, I don't live under a draconian government that tells me that I can or cannot build or even create a driveway.
