just make sure there isn't one on the opposite side of road so council can't argue it's a pedestrian one.

Ta muchly. Friend has got antsy about parking there, even though enforcing would be ridiculous. It will be good to reassure him.

A dropped footway is only enforceable for vehicular access, pedestrian crossing or cycle track.
If none of these apply then a historic lowered footway cannot be enforced but we do see CEOs still ticketing them and it's tiresome to challenge.

As a matter of interest …
There is a dropped kerb nearby that once served the drive of a large house. Said house has now been demolished and redeveloped, access is now in a different place. The old dropped kerb still exists but leads nowhere (well, to a brick wall). Is it still illegal to park across it?
