Maybe TheCat has aesthetic or environmental concerns . Or possibly a concern that the pavement will be damaged as it's not designed ,as a crossover is ,for driving over .Perish the thought . It would be interesting to know what the position is now re double yellow lines either side of new dropped kerbs. James Barber has led me to believe that the new policy of installing these 2 metres to either side has been dropped when the crossover is in a side/minor road .But still holds for roads like Barry Rd .In which case I believe there is the opportunity for neighbours to comment . And yes TheCat I believe you can park in front of your neighbours forecourt/garden .
