much like they were saying:

So how come the house across the road from me was refused planning
permission for a second vehicular access to the road? How come there's
a development going on at the moment just down from me which has had
vehicular access restrictions placed upon the site?

Quite possibly because some local authorities have planning guidance
which restricts the number of parking places per dwelling. "In and out"
driveways tend to potentially provide more parking spaces than a single
driveway.

Nope. They have exactly the same amount of parking space as they would
have with an in-and-out drive.

The planning permission for the second vehicular access was specifically
refused on road safety grounds - apparently pedestrians would find it
"confusing" having too many entrances, despite two accesses meaning there
would still be a lower density than most other similar length stretches
of this same road.
