Lowered Kerb
I have a lowered kerb to enable me to access my driveway. Approx the end 50cm of this goes over to my neighbours side, followed by a metre of kerb, and then his lowered kerb for his driveway entrance.
Sometimes, he parks part of his car on this 50cm bit of lowered kerb, and I struggle to turn left because of this as the road is too narrow to pass safely. Yes it can be done with some manoeuvring, but should I have to?
He's not directly blocking my driveway, as I can get out fine if I'm heading the other direction, and I cant find any sort of rules regarding this form of parking.
Is he allowed to park on that bit of lowered kerb?
Any help greatly appreciated, before I go chat to him.

I'm no expert but I would suggest your neighbour doesn't have any right to park anywhere in a particular stretch of roadway. The roadside in front of his house doesn't belong to him, it's part of the public highway. The 50cm of your dropped kerb is not on your neighbours property, it belongs to the local authority. His property starts at the garden gate.
Assuming there are no parking restrictions in the road you could park in front of your neighbours house should you wish to, and he could park in front of yours. It may cause trouble but that's it.
If he is making it difficult for you to get off your drive on purpose he is being bloody minded. If you consider is he causing an obstruction you can ask the police to look into it.
