El Cid Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 How do i find out if they have planning permission Does it make any difference, first come, first parked. Will it be different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I1L2T3 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Unless you have a reason (disability) you dont have any right to a parking space. You knew the parking situation when you moved in. If having a parking spot is that important for you to have then move house. Well, that's not always the case that people know the situation when they move in. Things can change like new employers, shops, new blocks of flats etc... we lived next doo to a family where as the kids reached 17 they all passed their driving tests. The family had 3 kids and they all had a car each. Mum and dad had a car each. Dad had a van for his business and sometimes the son bought has work van home too. This was a street with only on street parking and one house went from 3 vehicles to 7 vehicles at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biotechpete Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 How do i find out if they have planning permission They wouldn't necessarily need planning permission if the drive is block paved or gravel. But you can just type the post code in here. https://planningapps.sheffield.gov.uk/online-applications/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Smith Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Even if there is a drop down kerb they do not have rights of access, only egress if the drive is empty. you can park across it if the drive is full you cant block anyone in. thats how the law is. might upset your neighbours though What about if there`s a garage (so you can`t actually see if there`s a car there)....... I think most of us would say that parking across someone`s drive, whether there`s a car there or not, is bleedin` ignorant. ---------- Post added 08-04-2017 at 12:44 ---------- Well, that's not always the case that people know the situation when they move in.

I have to say I think that`s a wee bit ignorant. ---------- Post added 08-04-2017 at 12:51 ---------- Some of my other neighbours are fed up of it as well You may be surprised at how many of your neighbours don`t want a permit scheme. The council proposed a permit scheme for the road I used to live on, mainly because of its proximity to the Hillsborough football ground. Yet, apparently, there was a majority against it. I have to say I was, on balance, in favour of it, but also a bit cynical as to how much good it`d do. As an example cars were frequently parked on the double yellows at the entrance to the street (such that it was impossible to turn into the street without driving ion the wrong side of the road), yet as far as I know, no car ever got a ticket for it. Or if they did it was so uncommon that it didn`t stop the practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalkleyIan Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Do I need a dropped kerb? If you intend to drive a vehicle over the footway into your driveway off a highway, then you will need a dropped kerb. If you do not have dropped kerb, you must not drive over the footway. If you do so, you are breaking the law and enforcement action could be taken to prevent such practice. Furthermore: You may become liable from a collision with a pedestrian You may become liable for damage to the footway You may face considerable costs as a result of damage to any utility apparatus under the footwa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Some please help me Has anyone got an email address that i can contact the council abput parkibg on my road please it is getting ridiculous now and something needs to be done. I live on a small road. Others houses on the road keep parking multiple vehicles on the road. Other people that do not live on our road keep parking here as its more secure. There is not enough parking. Now someone has bought an house on my road and created a drive on it.. however this drive does not have a drop down kerb. This drive has been placed where i always park my car. I do not mind parking elsewhere on the road..but there is no space due to other people. So my question is do i have to keep drive clear if no drop down kerb? I am under the impression i do not. Secondly can we stop people whp do not live here parking here. Thirdly how do i contact council about maybe parking permits to prevent people from parking 4 vehicles each on the small road. Thank you a) no you don't have to keep it clear, and they are probably breaking the law by using the "drive". b) not unless you can get a residents parking zone, and you're happy to pay for your own permit. c) see b.

MEC176 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 There was an instance on my road a few years ago where a guy wanted to park off road and created his own concrete ramp over the curb well as soon as a road sweeper came along he was fined for blocking the road drainage and told to remove it, if he persisted to drive over the curb and park he would be fine again as that is illegal, if he wanted to park off road he would have to apply for a dropped curb to be put in by the council only, cost then £800, as long as your car is taxed and tested you can park any were on the Queens high way that the law allows the pavement and road at the bottom of your property does not belong to you, parking or half parking on a pavement is illegal but would cost too much to enforce, to not park and block some one’s drive is only done by curtesy.

Cyclone Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 It's an offence to block a car into a drive. Presumably only if the drive is legal though, as otherwise it's not a drive, it's a garden with a car in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
