I reversed off a driveway yesterday (house trying to buy) and the bottom of my car (Chevy estate) scraped the ground. There's nothing particulary low. Several of the neighbouring houses have lowered their drives to make them flatter, with a gentle slope towards the garage.
I know from reading today that you can turn your whole front garden into a driveway under permitted development so long as you ensure that it is a permeable drive, to avoid increasing run-off. But, does removing 10 skip loads of earth also come under this rule?
To the right of the drive is a raised lawn area. Also, it's bloody tight even for my car, so removals is going to be interesting ....
