Driveway/garage close to a bus stop in conservation area

If anyone can give me some advice please since I am a bit lost and overwhelmed. My house on a main road and it's in conservation area, it has a big empty space that I am planning to build a driveway and later on maybe a garage if possible. Edit1: Thanks for the reply Peter, hopefully you can see the picture here: http://i.imgur.com/yKw56X0.png The actual bus stop itself is probably around 20 meters but the end of the bus stop path thing is around 10 meters away from the planned driveway. You should be able to see the front garden fence thing as well. The situations are per below: - There's a bus stop 2 houses away (about 10-15 meters away) - I understand that I need the council to do the dropped kerb. - I made an enquiry to the council, they said planning permission is required for the driveway - Builder is obviously required to do the work and there's a knee high brick garden fence that needs to be removed for the driveway is this an issue for a house in conservation area? But my main question is, where do I start? I mean who should I get involved in order? Who usually filling in the planning permission? I downloaded the document and I am already a bit lost. Also, according to a builder (he came over for other stuff, in his opinions it's unlikely the council will approve the planning permission because of the close proximity to the bus stop) Many thanks :)
