The Southside spans tenements with no road frontage and interwar semi-detached suburbs that typically have one, so driveway feasibility varies significantly by street.

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.
It depends on the specific street — semi-detached suburbs like Cathcart typically have road frontage, while tenement-heavy areas like Govanhill do not.
