Maybe yes or maybe no as it depends. When it comes to real estate, all agreements and understandings must be in writing. A developer of a planned unit development (PUD) is required to give you all pertinent documents at the time of the execution of the Contract. It was your obligation to read those documents which would set forth all pertinent information regarding your development including roads and entrances.

If something was told to you but not put into your contract or the documents given to you at time of the execution. You need to review your pertinent documents and see what was actually disclosed to you. If you are unsure, then you need to consult an attorney who can review this information and advise you of your legal rights.
