you can drive onto to park, but not drive along, so two wheels up to avoid blocking full road / full pavement is generally legal... all four wheels and using the pavement as a road, not legal... easy distinction

I thought you could drive over a pavement to gain access to a property.
As mentioned above, I believe that this is not the de facto position in law, other than London it is up to councils to write byelaws to prevent it, maybe that is what has happened in the Wirral?
