What to weigh up in Thornliebank

  • Feasibility depends on which part of Thornliebank a property sits in, confirmed at survey.
  • Post-war streets here follow a similar pattern to neighbouring Giffnock.
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 East Renfrewshire Council is normally the first step. We confirm both at survey.
