Are you thinking of adding a Driveway?

Driveways and Access Planning Permission

If you are thinking about building a driveway, dropping a kerb or creating a new access to your property you are probably wondering if you need planning permission to do it?

The good news is that there are many minor developments such as driveways that can be done under permitted development meaning they do not need planning permission.

In order to be considered permitted development they must meet all the necessary planning and design criteria. If even one criteria is missed no matter how small the margin, then planning permission will be needed.

There also must not be any constraints that limit or remove your permitted development rights. If there are any constraints then even if your driveway or access meets the criteria for permitted development planning permission would still be needed.
