Hi all, thanks for your thoughts. We did a viewing for this house and apparently there is a garage on the road near the house. Yes I didn't realise that by having a driveway, two parking spaces that are available now would be gone. And I didn't grow up in this country so I am not very much familiar with (understandable) sentiments about the green spaces :-)

A good sensible reply, nice to see.

Okay - fair enough.

It is very much a part of the mindset of many of us that we know Britain is very overcrowded - and hence the protectiveness towards what green space we still have and trying not to have it covered with tarmac and/or concrete and unavailable to us all.

Over 94% of the country is land which hasn't been built on so Britain is in no way crowded or short of green space. This is about not wanting to loose green space in the built up areas directly outside people's houses.

They have allowed 2 houses to do the same on a cul de sac near me, the street lost 4 spaces and the council tarmaced straight through the grass. Derbyshire county council area.
