But you do get a reserved space outside your house if you get a dropped
kerb installed. OK you aren't supposed to park on it, but it is
effectively reserved for your use (to come and go to your drive) - people
aren't allowed to park in it and so it reserves a little bit of your
street.

not so.

Indeed not. The people who aren't allowed to park on it includes
you.

It includes anyone with the householder's permission.

What's being talked about AFAIAA, is the section of public
road on which the concession the Council makes in allowing
people to park their cars on the Councils property is
suspended by way of a parking restriction.
What anyone does on the householder's side of the dropped
kerb is, as you say, the householders business.

But people with the householders permission can ignore the "no parking
across the drive" restriction.

How easily that can be policed by a random passing traffic warden is a
different debate.
