In streets across the UK, lawns and flower beds have gradually given way to paving and parked cars, completely transforming the look of neighbourhoods. In 1995, the Government gave pavement crossovers (or kerb drops) 'permitted development' status and many front gardens were subsequently paved over. It's now thought that a quarter of all front gardens are paved.
