How the checker decides

It uses rules published by the councils we've checked: minimum parking depths (4 m to 6 m), distances from junctions (10 m to 15 m), obstacles, and the planning permission triggers in England's permitted development rules. Your council makes the actual decision after a site visit. See the full dropped kerb rules.
