There’s a property at the back that owns it. Owner is fine for me to use it as long as I don’t block access. About 10 other houses drive down it to park their cars behind their houses

@saveasteadingnice one mate. Even if i didn't turn it into a drive, i need to make them steps more safe!

@saveasteading Thank you for replying. RE: " There may just be some rules attached to your house, by covenant or planning policy, to forbid anything behind the house, so check your details." Response, the only rules we've been told when brought was smoke controlled area...where can i find this information out? Spoke to all neighbours no concern with doing the parking thing.. I wouldn't even know where to start with the front of the house we just need to make it safer, black ice recently i went flying. So i've been applying salt when its been getting cold! But others in the street have alternatives..example: Does this photo help

Afternoon everyone, I hope you are well and are enjoying the festive period. My name is Leonard recently brought my second home (old and big for me!) and looking for some help and guidance if that's ok? If i need to post in specific forums/channels, please let me know! Couple of queries... i have a big garden and was looking parking one of my cars in the back garden (i can already access side of my house) Do you know if this would be subject to planning approval? Remove 3/4 pannels...level the ground at the back of the garden and then potentially use gravel. This could mean i would end up moving the fence to keep it secure for the dogs and put a gate on it too! 2nd - I didn't think it would be a massive issue but now i'm in the house the front steps are quite steep and i would like to know ideas on how to make them safer. Any recommendations? i will add a photo! (blue line is top 6ft from floor!) I like the idea of removing all the grass/soil all together so any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Leonard
