I will throw something in the pot, apart from using the "Cycle map"
solution what do people think of Overlapping ways i.e. one is a road and
a duplicate is a bridleway? Not elegant and something I would not
normally suggest but...

As the OP on this, all I can say is that in this part of the world,
which includes that farm, that roadway would be called a "farm drive"
(not "driveway") with double gates and a nameboard where it leaves the
public road.
If you referred to the "track leading to the farm" the farmer might
take offence after laying and rolling hardcore along it to make it
suitable for all vehicles. A "track" is a narrow muddy lane between
fields, and a farm at the end of one would typically be an old-time
tumbledown affair, not one ready to receive delivery vans from Amazon.
However, my post was not about the naming, but about the rendering on
the standard OSM map. Where at zoom level 15 driveways are not
rendered, but lower-grade tracks and bridleways are. It doesn't make
sense to a user of that map, although I can see the intended logic
behind it.
The simplest solution would to remove the driveway tag and simply
leave it as "service road". But that then causes it to be rendered on
the standard map at the same width and colour as a minor public road,
which is equally confusing to a map user. However, I notice that the
entry gates have not been mapped, so adding those to a basic service
road may be the best solution, and I will do that.
thanks,
Martin.
