Parking between two driveways neighbor complaining

Digital_2012

Hi guys i need some help i moved to new house and the street is bit busy most days so parking there is a bit of challenge. There are two houses which have driveways one is privately used and one mostly closed with no parking written on it. I usually park between them leaving enough space for the drivways so they can move in out easily. Today one neighbor complaining that they can't move in out due my car park there which is a lame excuse i am attaching two pictures with highlighted area where i park my car there please have a look and give me an accurate advice if i can legally park there and what law says. Thanks

No you can't (shouldn't) park there as you'd be overlapping the dropped kerbs, BUT if the road is otherwise unrestricted, there is no Traffic Order to contravene so you won't get a PCN.

Do you park over a dropped kerb?
It looks like the higher part of the kerb is not long enough for most cars.
Is this in London?

Doesn't look like there is room to park there without at least some bit of a car extending into an area of dropped kerb - also looks like it would obstruct the view of the road - surprised they are complaining instead of there not just being an "accidental" scraping along the parked car every time it is there.

I have experience of this, but from the other side.  I was the neighbour complaining (but not in this case).  Vehicles would park overlapping our dropped kerb preventing leaving or reversing onto our drive without difficulty, usually involving a 3 point turn, mounting the kerb and driving over the grassed verge.

A phone call to the council and we had white lines painted in front of the  all the driveways, highlighting it needed to be kept clear. During school times it was a nightmare for all residents.  That and some education from the local PCSO and its stopped.
