Width of driveway on private land

[Stu789]

We are looking at building a backfill bungalow which would share existing access from the A-road so no issues with widths, set backs etc there & similarly at the bungalow there is room for turning circles etc.

 

However the drive to access the back garden has a pinch point between the boundary wall and the side of the garage (just the front as the garage and boundary wall are not parallel).

Does anyone know what minimum width requirements would be?

 

Currently it is 2.9m at the pinch point which I'm pretty sure is too tight - depending on what is required we may have an easy solution (agreement to remove the kink in the boundary wall) to get to ~3.5 maybe 4m but otherwise it is make the wide double garage narrower which is possible but for obvious reasons I would prefer to avoid.

 

TIA for any guidance/pointers

Start by looking at fire engine access and turning space required - or alternative.

Thanks - 3.7m generally and 3.1m minimum for a short distance seems to be a common requirement - that should be do-able without reducing the garage!
