Why?

Because its their bloody property! You going to start dictating what
plants they can plant in their gardens next or perhaps what type of
furniture they're allowed to buy??

Ever heard of a conservation area or a listed building? They can tell you
what colour to paint your front door.

They told a friend of mine (or her landlady, anyway) that she shouldn't
have double glazing. This seems a case of priorities not being right.

Normal housing doesn't have such stringent rules, but neither is it a
case of "no rules".

And moreover, in this case, the problem is that get to the private
property, you have to go over public property, the kerb, damaging it in
the process. I couldn't give two hoots about some halfwit parking a car in
their garden, but i don't want to be paying to repair damage they cause in
doing it.
