Have contacted Highways and my local Planning about an opinion on this but no joy.
Currently, access from my drive is being blocked by cars on the other side of the road.
When they are parked opposite its impossible (or very difficult) to exit my drive even in reverse without going over the kerb.
We do have a drop kerb in place but with the cars parked where they are, it's not wide enough.
My driveway is situated in a corner and I often have to reverse off the drive, off the dropped kerb and around the parked vehicles to exit the property.
This wasn't a massive problem until my old car went pop I am now set to pick up a new car (with less clearance road to body work).
I will, of course, talk to my neighbours about this but I'd like a solution to go along with the chat about parking.
What options are available to me other than applying for an extended drop kerb?
I was thinking H markings but on the local planning website it states that "Your kerb must already be lowered where the driveway meets the road before a marking can be provided." I don't want to spend £50 and wait 3 months for a decision if it's going to go against me.
Any experience, opinions or ideas?
