I would pass the bill to the owners stating that if they are not
prepared to settle it then you will be taking further action. Note I
would stay well away from telling them you will inform the council if
they dont pay etc, it could be seen as blackmail. You are also not
the police/courts/enforcer (unfortunatly).
Note a drive does not normally need planning since 2008 I think it is
permitted development however it must drain to a SUD if over I think
5m^2. However the small matter of it extending into public road may
be interesting

Last year a house on a narrow country road (2 lanes just) on the way
to/from work decided to redo the end of there drive, removed the
original dropped curbstones and replaced them with 3 rows of cobble
type stones.
But they put them out into the road by 6 to 8 inchs and left them
sticking up from the tarmarc by about 2 to 3 inchs with no slope on
the end of them.
Today in the dark a car came the other way a bit far across the road
at just at that point and i hit the end of the cobbles, punctured
the front tyre instantly and the rear has a big egg on the sidewall.
Apart from contacting the council about the fact they have modified
the curb and moved it into the road who do i send the bill to for
the damage, the council or the householder ?
Looking on the net there was no planning request for the change but
i'm not sure they needed one .
The woman at the house initially said the drive didn't stick out
into the road (which it clearly does) and then when i said it should
at least have had a slopped end she said it was done that high to
stop water running off of the road onto there drive.
Thanks,
Jim
