Build the driveway!!

Having a front garden means you have to park in the road, therefore being more prone to knocks, bashing your wheel on the kerb, key-scratchers and car-thiefs. Also makes it more dangerous for people crossing the road as their vision is impaired.

The nature will be fine, it will just move it's stuff to places like the Horniman. Besides, there are plenty of trees around the streets of FH if you like looking at birds and squirrels.
