Driveway new rules

[locomoco19]

So we bought the house thinking we convert the front garden in to a drive, we found out that the council has changed the rules, the width of the drive has to be 7.5 metres, our is 6.5m, so short by a metre! Really really disappointed!
Is thEre any way of getting round that stupid rule? I think it only came in last year

@LtJudyHopps council can't make me put my wall back up, it's my garden I can remove the wall if that's what I want. I know I wouldn't be able to park on it without the dropped curb tho
