Width of driveway?

[mjc55]

I am just thinking about what we really need.

 

We have to move entrance onto site from the corner to the middle of the frontage of the plot, this was a highways response to original OPP.

 

The frontage onto the lane is around 21m or so and for the purposes of planning I have indicated an entrance of around 4.7m where it crosses onto our land.  This was a bit of guesswork really but should be adequate enough I think.

 

Any thoughts or examples from others are welcome.

 

Attached is from site plan.

If it's Dorset Council, then the following has all the links to the information you need. Surprised highways didn't provide this information in their original response to be honest.

Interesting that the access requirements show 5m set back.  I am sure that I read (or was told somewhere) that they want 6m!
