Permission To Drop Kerb For This House

[Tim330]

This house (centre image, white door) looks ok to me & is in budget. The only problem is no driveway which is a requirement so I can keep the car close. The local authority ask for £60 to assess the site for an application to drop the kerb. Does anyone have an idea if permission would be given for this house? It's on a corner & a narrow access road to a garage block, not sure if that makes a difference.

Good idea, I'm viewing the property Friday so I'll try & go see the council before then.

I'd just build the drive and not worry about the curb. It's quite low anyway.

Do you need planning permission to build a driveway? Could someone in theory still park in front of your house if you did this (although in this case I suppose they couldn't without blocking the access road)?
I took a look on the councils planning portal to see if anyone had applied to drop the kerb but couldn't see anything listed.

House opposite with the garden furniture out front already looks like they are doing that.

Good point thanks, so I could just concrete or block pave a space big enough for the car. If I bought it I would still apply but its good to know I could park there in the meantime whilst the application was being processed.

Whilst I have peoples attention. Anything I should look for in the house? Appreciate it's not the nicest road but Fleet is a nice town. I grew up there but currently live in near by Farnborough.
