Default dropped kerb / offroad parking : planning permission (and refusal!)

Yes...councils will refuse on the grounds that you have to enter *and*
leave in a forwards direction. Failure to have an approved dropped kerb
can lead to criminal charges, and if it's an unapproved one (as opposed
to none) and someone is injured on it, the owner will be liable.



I'm bemused as to how six neighbouring houses have gotted dropped kerb
permission - they've got even narrower gardens with no way of doing
any kind of manouvering.
