to none) and someone is injured on it, the owner will be liable.

I have noticed on recent planning applications that some councils
are getting much fussier about new access points. Visibility
lines have to be calculated (it is a shame some existing road
junctions wouldn't comply) and I have seen requirements that no
water shall be allowed to run off the drive, loose gravel is not
permitted, and limits on steepness.
