Benefits of Block Paving
If you want to make your driveways more interesting and stylish, then block paving is an excellent choice. The cost of these finishes are affordable for most people who just need a basic shape or size; however many different features can be added for those looking for something a little more bespoke.
You don’t have to worry about parking your car on a block paving driveway because any staining from things like petrol or diesel are easy to repair by simply replacing single blocks quickly and easily at minimum cost.
Unlike natural stone, block paving is produced by a manufacturer and has consistent sizes. This makes for an easy installation process without having to worry about cuts that might vary from piece-to-piece or even along the same line because they’re all made of similar material – making this type cheaper than a natural paving product or Resin Bound.
Do I need Planning Permission for my Block Paved Driveway?
When you are looking for a new path or driveway that will cover more than five square meters in size, it is important to consider the type of paving that is being used. Some traditional products including block paving don’t allow water drainage so can only be used if there is a fall to a natural draining feature such as lawns and borders.
If this is not the case then you must now apply for planning permission to carry out the work as the government changed the permitted development rights in October 2008.
You won’t have to apply for a Planning Permission if you plan on using materials that allow water through, such as permeable block paving, Resin Bound Surfacing or if you are directing surface waters somewhere they can drain. For further advice on what type of pavement best suits your needs the Planning Portal has some great information available at their site!
