Road parking contention and garage usage

Bigphil1474

Yep, planning have made the builder make room for 2 off street parking spaces - but they aren't required to use them. If they wanted to convert the garage into an extra room, then they would have to re-apply to planning to get permission to do that. I doubt your local council would be interested in this, as from what you have posted, they are complying with the planning requirements fully.

So, a joke.

It has to be available, it is,
like most garages.    It's more of a joke to think that the planning department are responsible for checking that people park in their garages when virtually no one does.

Everyone that owns a car is responsible for traffic jams and pollution. Everyone that parks on the street is responsible for cluttering it.    Most people will blame someone else, however.

"This residential road is already congested. PP for a further house is refused for this reason - unless you provide 2 off-road spaces for your vehicles." "Fair enough, dude - that's cool - I'll do that..."

This guy clearly didn't sign the a'ole clause - the one that says I'll do just what I want; I have no obligation to others. Assuming the situation is as the OP describes it to be, how many folk on here would park on the road outside their house rather than on their available driveway?

I'm just saying that such conditions are a joke, that's all. Ineffective. Unactionable when the protagonist is objectionable.

Like with in-law's last house on a tidy bungalow'd estate. Covenant says 'no caravans to be parked outside'. New neighb turns up - having checked before purchase whether such a covenant exists - and brings their caravan.

There are two types of people in the world.

God forbid anyone owns a caravan and attempts to park it on their own land.

:-)   You know what I mean :-)  

(Come on, you wouldn't do this if you knew the covenants said not to, and the neighbs said ditto. You wouldn't :-)  )

You keep harping back to covenants, what does it say in relation to this thread? I've not seen the OP refer to one.

It amuses me when drivers say "I am stuck in traffic".

No, you are traffic.

PS: I am just as guilty as others for moaning about traffic when I am 'stuck' in it.

Harp? Whatevs.

Ok, it was seemingly a condition for receiving PP for this property. It is therefore likely/should-be in the deeds - like any condition which limits - or enforces - what you can and cannot do with 'your' property.

I think they are called covenants. That they are often seemingly unenforceable, is what makes it a 'joke'.
