This is a matter regulated by your local Council, not the Police as long as you are on your property and not the highway. Repairing cars on the road has always been illegal, although not highly regulated, and the only offence you might be committing on your driveway is one of noise. As a Borough Councillor of many years standing, I can advise that I have never seen a willingness of Local Authorities to be heavy handed, even where a minor breach has been in evidence, and in my area, nobody has ever been held to account.
Certainly in present circumstances, Local Authorities have far more important roles to fulfil, so I should not worry.
