Notes about driveway access rights in the UK

  • service=driveway is documented as for accessing a single property
  • Access can still be private, however, as the further house can have an easement which guarantees its access. access=private doesn’t mean that access is restricted to a single property, it merely means that access is not granted to the general public.
  • Looking further into the law of this, the government confirms it’s a messy area. https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn00402/
