Thanks, avery useful reference file of over 4mb of info. Sadly nothing relevent to my dropped kerb

Thanks all. Just to mop up a few queries from the posts 1. I can confirm the Certificate of Lawfulness was granted to remove part of the wall expressly stating "for the purpose of off road parking". The plans submited showed before and after perspectives, including the creation of 2...
