Advice on driveway surfacing
Planning permission is now required to construct a new driveway. It's also needed when extending an existing driveway or replacing and resurfacing an existing driveway, unless the driveway is surfaced and drained in a certain way.
The Planning Portal provides advice on when planning permission is required. But householders are also advised to refer to the council’s planning advice for driveways (PDF 852Kb) which provides detailed advice and examples.
