There is much confusion concerning the new planning regulations and some people are led to believe that all new driveways need planning permission. This is not true. If you live in an area that is suitable for permeable paving, then you don’t need planning permission. Nor do you need it if you install a soakaway or direct rainwater towards a soft landscape.
To be absolutely certain you will need a survey which we provide FREE OF CHARGE. So by taking notice of the cowboy door knockers who do not understand the rules and who have not been trained in permeable paving, then you run the risk of a £2,000 fine or being forced to rip up your driveway and start again.
Our main drainage system was never designed to cope with the amount of rainfall we are now receiving and the Councils will no longer tolerate rainwater being directed onto the roads.
