I suppose very much depends upon:
a) the general parking rules for the housing development you live in (whether privately run or council), and;
b) whether the neighbour's car is actually within their allocated space as (presumably) marked on the road. If it's not marked or, if it is and their vehicle is inside the marked area, I suspect there's no comeback for you.
Some residents associations and councils (depending on who runs the development/is responsible for the parking area) may look kindly and sometimes can either alter a set of spaces to accommodate a wider disabled space, mark one up from scratch (though this is often ones on the road) or allow a disabled resident to use an already wider space by designating it for desiabled residents only (still first come-first-served though).
Unfortunately the above is often not possible, especially as 'new' spaces may only be available some way from the disabled person's property, negating the benefit of the space.
Newer developments are now, by law, supposed to have a certain number of designated disabled-only bays, older ones obviously don't and often cannot easily make provision for them, as they take up more space than a 'standard' one, and there already is a shortage of car parking anyway.
Best of luck.
