Oh, that one depends on where you live and the type of access road. In
Lancashire the vast majority of such roads are back streets behind terraced
houses (Coronation Street style) and the vast majority of those are adopted
public highways which the public have a right to use as they do any other
highway.

In some areas where there has been antisocial behaviour their access has
subsequently been restricted by Gating Orders but in the absence of
indication on the ground, my default assumption wouldn't be that
access=private.

Kind regards,

Adam
