Sounds like it could have been done like that accidentally-on-purpose. You obviously need a 2 post car lift
Obviously...
The deeds say that we can't have a fence at the front, keep chickens, caravans or hang washing to the front of the house.
No mention of boats or lifting equipment
It's funny, mine says no boats, caravans or trailers. But when I pointed out to the planning department, to whom one of my lovely neighbours had obviously complained, that I can park a long-base astra, a jag, a boat and a small box trailer on the drive without parking anything on the road they relented. The planning restriction was to prevent over-spill on to the road because that is where the local 'garage'
do their work customers park (not in the car park in their own planning restrictions). The builders of my house had to prove that there was space for 4 cars on the driveway of a 2 bedroom house. Go figure.
