Your responses suggest that we might not be able to enforce the arrangement we already have, let alone any exclusive use arrangement?
No, I think you are OK, provided you have the council advice in writing. I even think you might get away with letting one space as there is no specific, formalised planning requirement (although I would strongly recommend against it, as it would create a precedent).
The question of enforcement arises when you have, for instance, a resident who uses visitor parking in breach of your by-laws and you then hit them with a Notice To Comply.
And the best way to get around that is to make sure your by-laws are absolutely clear on what constitutes visitor parking, who can use it and how long their vehicle can stay (with written permission required for longer term visitor parking).
The previous poster wanted to control their informal visitor parking without a by-law. I should have said in my response that, regardless of the expense, a by-law was the way to go.
