Crossing "a neightbours" dropped kerb?

[21TonyK]

I appreciate a dropped kerb belongs to the council (or whoever) and not the neighbour. But, where it was intended to be used by one property and a second also uses it to access a newly created parking space is this an issue?

(No neighbour to ask, house is currently empty)

Blocking the dropped curb is the only consideration, if you only momentarily transit the curb and don't intrude onto anyone else's land or cause obstruction to their right of access, I don't think it'll matter.

Are they using it for the swingers club they’re running in the sheds in the back garden?

If you have to drive along the pavement at all to reach the parking space that would be an issue.
What angle of crossing the pavement constitutes 'along the pavement'?

Some roads, it seems common for people to have a drop kerb and treat the road next to it as their private space.
You may not be able to expect the drop kerb to be free of obstructions.

This is a point, I would need to cross a small area of pavement bordering the drop kerb. The red ouline is the edge of my drive, access being from the drop kerb on the right. A tree has been removed on the opposite corner which allows access from the other side by crossing the neighbours kerb and about 2 foot of pavement.

Just pay to have the kerb dropped in the correct place otherwise this should be posted in the council thread.

Is there currently a dropped kerb to access the other part of the driveway?

Yes, its just having access either side means less shuffling of cars. Its not really an issue but it does make life a bit easier.

In that case I'd crack on and use the existing one when required as well, with a view to installing a new one if it causes issues.

Get some of those black rubber chocks.
