Our local Council seem a bit difficult about dropped kerbs as they insist on a number of conditions. Firstly they will insist that any hardstanding parking is built to modern standards in term of water absorption. If you have to have your drive replace that would add several thousand pounds to the bill.They also insist on reinforcing the pavement you drive across. Finally they insist that any loss of roadside parking is equal to the provision of parking to replace the loss.

Our council said a flat no. We would have to get in touch with the highways first for them to drop a non existent curb as it's worn away. They quoted £15000 to be able to go across this non existent worn down old curb. So it meant we would be paying for a new one to be fitted either side. The council would not give us permission at all to cross their grass.
So we came to an abrupt stop. Hence into storage it went. It us very hard to keep a parking space outside even the disabled white lines. Now I have a lift at the back of a van the need for my own bay is essential as I cannot get the lift down unless on a straight path , road?
Different councils different rules as they see it.

That is not your local Council being difficult, but them adhering to the current Building Regulations.
All Councils should now be doing the same.

now I am in a dilemma , don't know whether or not to approach the council now or to just keep on as we have been just in case we don't fit the criteria ,and we have got to have the hardstanding replaced , certainly cant afford thousands 
Cheers for the info tho 
cheers for any thoughts on this
