Hi All,
I have just bought a house and would like to drop the curb at the front of the house so I can use the front garden as a drive.
I applied to the council but they have refused me in the drive as they say I couldn’t have a dropped curb on our road.
Annoyingly every house in our road has a drive. I brought this up with the council and they said the reason all other houses have one is that they were probably installed before the permissions changed.
I have a large space at the front which isn’t being used, enough for 3 cars and currently pay £60 a year for a permit to park on the side roads which get extremely busy.
If I was to drop the curb against councils permission, if caught what is the worst that could happen? Would it just be a fine? A fine I would be willing to pay if it allows me to have a drive.
Advice much appreciated.
