You may have a bike now, but there will be times when you or others visiting may need to use cars there. If you have a delivery made, yes they will back out of your driveway. If people visit you in a car or taxi (do you think they will all walk from the train station, including your 65 year old grandmother?) you need it.
You get sick and need a taxi to the doctors office? Need it. Tumble off the bike and break or sprain something, and you rent a car while you recover? Need it.
Do you plan on selling the house, and the buyer is a tradesman who need a truck to do landscaping or carry his tools?
You're not going to cycle always and forever. A lot of people here one day are going to get old enough where cycling is a chore, even with a ebike. At that point the hedge becomes an expensive nuisance.
