Another option is to attach clothes to the back of your car or bike and ride around for a bit. 

Was this intended to be a joke?

Clearly not.

Reminds me of that movement in the US and elsewhere turning parking spaces into mini-parks.

NameUnavailable

Or, build two 'micro homes' on the spaces, sell them and then buy a house with a garden!

I had heard it was a ‘thing’ but yes it was meant in a light hearted way as I wondered if this was the sort of responses the OP was hoping for.

On a more constructive note, there are other options to economically dry clothes. What you can do is have a drying room (you can obviously use an airing cupboard)
two things are needed:
1. A fridge type dehumidifier (it has a pump like a fridge)
2. A radiator (optional but speeds up if room is ice cold)

Hang clothes and ideally set the room to 21C and in 8hours you have really lovely dry clothes. Dehumidifier I use is 230W, a typical household dryer is 2500W, and will need 2 hours to dry that 8kg load and crumple it. You will use about 40% power and clothes dry overnight, comes nearly ironed if you hang them properly.

Thank you Alan, this is really  useful and something i will look into. 👍

Looking to buy a new home, it has two allocated parking spaces that come with the property.
 There is no garden and no where to hang washing. Can i legally put a rotary washing line in one of the spaces i own?
Im thinking surely because i own it i can do what i want with it. But im not sure if this is something neighbours can protest and legally stop happening?

In a previous post you mentioned that you were interested in buying a particular flat. If you're still talking about that flat and it's in England or Wales, it's almost certainly leasehold.

The lease will almost certainly say that you can only use the parking spaces for parking cars.

(Otherwise people could leave old fridges, sofas and baths in their parking spaces - which could make the parking area look like a rubbish dump.)

IIn the last post i said it was freehold and it is freehold

OP...I prefer to dry my washing outside too, I've never owned a tumble dryer either. Is your parking space right outside your house/flat? (i.e. can you see it from your window?) If so, you could maybe use a folding clothes airer in the space instead? It's not a permanent structure, so if anyone moans, you could easily bring it indoors. I visit lots of London housing estates, and I see washing hanging everywhere, I've seen plenty of airers and makeshift washing lines in all sorts of places, including car parking spaces!

OK, it's freehold. But

Still not enough information to give you a legally reliable answer.

1) Is your property freehold or leasehold?

2) is the parking space part of the property ie is it included within the red(or other relevant colour) boundary on your Title Plan?

3) Or is it on a different Title, to which you have rights eg access for parking? Iff so, is that a leasehold or freehold title an who owns it?

4) if 1) above is freehold, and 2) is "yes", have you read the property Title? If yes, are there any covenants in Parts 2 or 3 of the Register? If yes, what do they say?

5) If 1) above is leasehold, is the space included in the leasehold Title Plan? What does the lease say regarding parking and/or that space?
