The one I saw the other day was a reasonably long loop road. It would expect it to either be maintained by the Local Authority or the Housing Association,
In my experience, housing association roads, created in the last decade or so, are most unlikely to be adopted. As I said, there aren't really enough gradations of privacy, but, if unadopted, I would probably set them to highway=residential, access=destination, on the basis that there is an implied right to drive up to a house you are visiting, but the housing association won't want to pay for the wear and tear from the local driving instructor using them, so permissive would be too much. I'd reserve access=private for gated developments, ones with authorised vehicles only signs, and drives associated with blocks of flats. (The use of permissive that I'd agree with is private roads that are part of a tourist area and are expected to be used by tourists.)
Note that people can put up misleading signage implying that adopted roads are not public highways.
