Re: Tower hamlets. Parked outside dropped kerb driveway of own

The yellow line argument is nonsense as that's nothing to do
with the contravention.
But they now say it's a shared dropped footway but as you have
permission for both yours and in-laws I can't see they can win
this although they say such permission can't be given. They also
did not raise this in the initial rejection.
Also it's not really a shared drive-in - just dropped footway
past two units, which aren't even garages.
See what others say.

Looks like they may have got me in the shared access point? Do
you think I should take it to tribunals or..?

I think you should, if you've not paid.
If you're still in can you take pictures of the kerbside so we
can see if this looks a 'shared driveway'.
The law just says:
This exception does not apply in the case of a shared driveway.
An extended length of dropped footway is not a shared driveway
in my view.

The kerb is dropped to give access to the two garages, so hardly
"shared". When one thinks of a shared driveway it is where the
driveway is only wide enough for one car, but gives access to
two properties adjacent to each other.

I agree. Not a shared driveway as we'd understand it.
And to be clear one of the 'garages' is yours and the other your
in-laws, who can no doubt provide a note giving permission.
