These look great, but it needs to move fairly freely and also it only needs to slide 3 feet side back and fourth. So the wheels on a shepherds hut or trailer would be the wrong oreintation, all wheels would need be turned by 90 degrees.
Roughly what is your budget going to be? A real home DIY project or a bit of a budget to fix a long term problem?
You need to find a local Blacksmith, also speak to metal fabrication companies locally they may give you a solution or person who can help or may know of a smith, if you can't find one.
What do you envision in front of the shed? Using a trailer base sounds good but with a caravan or trailer base you then have an ugly hitch/tow bar of metal to get in the way. Though you may be able to have that altered.
Tyres deteriorate over time, an expense and faff to replace.
You can change the orientation of wheels like the shepherd huts. It does not have to be that shape and does not sound like it will be anyway.
Also look up tiny houses, diy. A brief look showed some links to folks with step by step pictures of home made projects which give you an idea of the works involved even if not exactly what you are looking for. Good luck hope you do it and show us the project.
I think work the track out first (if you want to go for a track) and then work up from there. If your neighbours have to have uneffected access over the tracks then you might have to fit them so they're flush with the ground level, but you risk them getting full of dirt and jambing the wheels up. Any C channel mild steel would do the job as a track for shepherd hut style wheels to fit into and you could cut oak timbers or recyled plastic sleepers to fit into the channel until you need to move the building to stop things falling in, including people (and chock the wheels of the hut).
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
From what you say the land belongs to the homes it backs onto, nobody uses it, and the alley serves no purpose other than to grant access to one resident who is never there. Bonkers.
Are all the other neighbours to the right aware of the extra 3/4ft they own? I'd be egging them on to reclaim their bit. Just make sure you get your shed kit delivered into your back garden first... before the fences go up 😉.
I'm amazed how many companies are out there now selling tiny tin sheds for £15k or more and I'm even more amazed by how many idiots are actually paying for them

I think it would be far easier and cheaper just to reclaim your land and erect your shed. If your neighbour ever comes back and then complains, then have the shed dismantled and re-assembled your garden. Simples!
