Your post makes no sense! - Without a dropped kerb, there is no "lawful (vehicle) access to a property"
A simple Google search on the subject will explain it all to you!
Try this for a start (From: http://www.enfield.gov.uk/info/1000000625/pavement... )
Vehicle Crossover/Dropped Kerb
"It is an offence to drive over the pavement to park on a private property without a legally constructed vehicle crossover."
(And "Legally constructed" means planned and constructed by the local council only!)
Honestly, it's not that hard to find this s
t out for yourself! 
As for the OP: Write as many nice notes as you like! - You're the one breaking the Law, not those parking in front of your car!
You don't like it? - That's just tough s
t basically!

doesn't make it actually true
the councils like the idea that it's an offense, but they have nothing to back it up, it's a complex issue.
"It is an offence to drive over the pavement to park on a private property without a legally constructed vehicle crossover." This might be technically correct, the best form of correct, but ignores the fact that it could be equally an offence to do it with a legally constructed vehicle crossover, under a nearly 200 year old law, Section 72 of the Highway act 1835

this law makes it a blanket offense to drive anything on the pavement, no statutory exceptions and it's still technically in force
Road traffic act 1988 section 34 is a much more up to date law and has a clear exemption for accessing property, without a mention of cross overs or drop kerbs, what it states is,
It is not an offence under this section to drive a mechanically propelled vehicle on any land within fifteen yards of a road, being a road on which a motor vehicle may lawfully be driven, for the purpose only of parking the vehicle on that land.
