What is the difference between shared access and shared drive. If it’s shared access can you drive pass through.

Different words for the same thing, pretty much. "Driveway" implies parking (so long as you don't obstruct the neighbour), while "access" implies that it's simply a there-and-back, and probably shared with more people.
So a lane across the back of several houses would be "shared access" - a wider tarmac driveway along the border between you and next door would be "shared drive". Both have the potential to be a nightmare. Remember that neighbours change. I wouldn't touch either unless there's no choice.0 -
shared access is a more legalistic term.shared drive is a common description, with a general understanding as to meaning but no real legal meaning (though could imply joint ownership, though this is rare).If you provide more detail as to your situation, you will get more meaningful responses.0
