Driveway installation in Partick

Partick's dense tenement stock along the Clyde has no private road frontage, so driveway installation is limited to the smaller pocket of house-type property in the area.

What to weigh up in Partick

  • Most Partick properties have no road frontage suitable for a driveway.
  • Where a property does have one, a dropped kerb application with Glasgow City Council is usually needed first.
Road frontage

A driveway only applies where a property has a private garden or hard standing accessed directly from the street. Tenement flats open onto a shared close or back court and have no road frontage, so they cannot take one. Where frontage exists but no dropped kerb is in place, an application to Glasgow City Council is normally the first step. We confirm both at survey.
