But naive with regards to parking

not a 'main road'. So not an A, B or C road. What's the road name?I'm not sure im understanding what you wrote? The dropped curb doesn't require planning as its not on a main road but it does need an approved contractor. My council has 6 approved contractors and only two replied - similar price.

Even if Planning permission is not needed, you need an 'opening permit' following inspection.0 -
The parking at the rear doesn't have a dropped kerb is that right?
There is a lampost on the pavement at the rear of the house that is in the way of putting in a dropped kerb?
There are already double gates on the back drive suggesting that the previous owners did use it as off street parking?
You are not asking about getting a dropped kerb at the front of the property because the front garden is not big enough to park a car on?0 -
The parking would be at the back of the house, there is no dropped curb and there is a public pavement. The front has a wall so it couldn’t never be argued there is front of house off house parking. The front of the house is also too small for a car.0

Have to use a contractor for the council because there could be utility services etc . Contractor also gets the worker signed of.0

The area is also too small to make a dropped curbed due to the light smack bang in the middle of the garden. Oh no
there needs to be 270cm and there is 260. Ah. 0 -
Estate agent has sent me a cheque for 1/4 of the price.0

Cashing it means you accept the compensation. End of.
If you want more or anything different, don't cash it but write back with whatever you wish to claim.0 -
