So our house is on a road where there is a large triangular grass outside the front, between the house and the road
It is smaller at the bottom (by us, probably 8ft, away from the road) and larger at the top (about 20-25ft away from the road). Theres probably 10 houses on the row. Outside of our house is- front garden, path, grass verge, path, road.
So partner and I were thinking of gravelling our front garden and putting wooden driveway gates on, and using our front garden to park for occasional use, ie when he wants to do work on the car for example. It would not be a regular arrangement. We would not be applying for a drop kerb and have no idea about the process if I am entirely honest. I think where we live we have to get plans drawn up etc, it is not a simple enquiry process.
For extra information, plenty of cars further up the road with the larger grass verge have parked their cars on the grass, and have continued to do since 2011 at least, according to google maps. Aswell, the Council have actually installed around 8 parking bays at the very top of the grass (off the road) however they will not be proceeding with this all the way down the grass unfortunately.
Has anyone changed their front garden into parking without a drop kerb, and were you fine doing so, what were the implications when you sold your property?
