Driveway challenge!

[Liamscott]

Gents, ladies bought a property with limited access as shown, their is an unofficial communal parking at the end of the garden but it gets very busy and theirs cars everywhere! This is an old pick and their is a small hatch walkway printed on the ground now. Do you think I will be able to apply for a dropped kirb to go over the path/verge showed as a square block at the end and gain a driveway on my front garden it is big enough as you can see just access is a bit iffy! Thanks in advance

I am not sure which is yours, but they all seem the same.

 

I think the issue you will face, if you are the only one, is you will constantly get blocked in with cars parked as in that picture.

 

Is it worth talking to the neighbours to see if you can get them, or at least some of them interested in doing the same thing?  Then it could go on one planning application and the shared costs would make it cheaper.  Then if several of you are using that "square" for access it should be easier to keep that area clear.

I think the talk to them all idea is a good one.

 

It may also do to check what the legal position is wrt access rights etc, to inform your actions etc, and to know who actually owns the ‘square’ and who has what rights over it.
