PP may be required depending on your location but as to drainage, if the gravel is on top of a permeable weed-barrier membrane, the water should soak away into the soil as it does now and neither go into the drains nor get waterlogged.

Location has nothing to do with it, if they're in England.

Does that picture make it easier to understand?

Looks like you're too close to the junction to park outside your home.

It seems frustrating because we're on this one way U street, if it was a normal street I would think right that's absolutely fine but when someone parks and blocks the space outside my house I have to park on another road on a grass verge you would just think people had some basic manners, I really don't care when I'm at work or out I would love to be able to come home and be able to park there. It's enough space for 2 if people park closer to the pole but they park bang in the middle looks like i need a drive.

But you knew this when you viewed the house. You knew it was on a one way street and you knew that there wasn't a drive. So you knew that people would park outside your house on the public parking. So you can't really complain now it was all like this when you decided to buy the house.

Just post a picture from google maps lol...

As the red space is not yours, you have no right to stop people parking in front of your house, you don't currently have a drive you need access to, so it's first come first served.

I think you're looking at this the wrong way,. No-one's blocking the space outside your house, they're parking. It is nothing to do with manners. How do you think flat owners cope where there's no private parking? If everyone in my block owned a car, there would be 8 people trying to park right outside.

We were told from the people we bought from there's never been any problems with parking and never had any disputes with neighbours or people visiting neighbours, and it happens regularly.

I don't live to close to the junction to park outside my house because next door which is joined to us as we're semi detached is right on the bend and has a drive we're not right on the corner.

I just wanted people's thoughts that's fine I'll ask politely if people would mind moving or parking outside the house they're going too and look into getting the drive done at the beginning of the year .

I still can't post pictures because I'm new, if you take the spaces out of this link this is off a street view apparently many years ago.

That might show a better understanding and outside every house has one of these. I'll try get an Ariel shot for people.

There's really no way, legally or morally that you'd expect to have that space left for your use

This is an Ariel picture of our deeds, so we officially don't own it I can now see but would there be an allocated parking with the house how would we find out? At my dads there was 3 houses joined and a private back lane for all 3 he had an insurance policy to say he had 2 parking spaces from the people he bought from.

Maybe legally how morally? The space looks bigger there then it is on the grass verge there's a stump that will rip your bumper off. Like I said previous if people park better we could fit 2 cars on there I really don't care as long as I can park when I finish work or come home.
