What is a Driveway

I'd say that is on street parking. The car would not be off road and directly adjacent to your house, there is a road area in between the property and the car 

You also couldn't SORN your vehicle if it was parked there. It would need to remain taxed and insured.

The space is owned by the OP - shown in deeds, so I'd have thought it could be SORN there.

Another vote for driveway from me, DullGreyGuy is a great font of knowledge on all things insurance, anyone know how to tag him in?

• Residential car park – car parking that’s laid out and designated by the local council for the use of residents (which isn’t on a road or in a locked compound.

That would seem to fit the situation.

Possibly, though I would think that more appropriate for something a bit more remote from the property - in this case the OP is parked closer than many people are on their "normal" driveways.

Also an odd definition to say it's "laid out and designated by the local council" when I'd expect most to have nothing to do with the council (and likely to be owned communally in some way by the residents)

And OP has confirmed it is included on their deeds so another one for falling under driveway as the closest definition.
