It was the neighbourly feud to end all neighbourly feuds and although the players have changed, in one leafy North London neighbourhood the game is still the same.
Like all neighbours, Alisson Roberto Teixeira and Robert Medcalfe had started out as acquaintances, swapping catch ups about their lives and local area over their 8-foot shared driveway in Dollis Hill, North London.
However, this small patch of communal tarmac was to prove the pair's no-mans land after Italian businessman Teixeira decided he wanted to make use of it in a manner that appalled Medcalfe.
And so, in 2022 things came to a head after ambitious plans were submitted to Brent council for Teixeira to build a brand new house behind his property using the 2.7m-wide shared driveway as an access road - with the project estimated to cost up to £2million to complete.
Locals were appalled and his neighbour felt betrayed, saying at the time: 'How can you try to do something with someone's property without speaking with them and getting permission? That's not what neighbours do.'
