In most cases developers and management companies don't want to be left responsible for looking after the roads in their estate, so they sign them over to the local council. There are exceptions, but they generally fall into the gated community category.
There is no right to parking in front of your house, so unless there are parking restrictions in operation, anyone can park there. You'll often see "resident parking only" signs, but they have no legal meaning.
About the only way to impose any restriction is to make the area pay parking and issue (i.e. sell) resident parking permits.
