What is the problem with paving front gardens? -- How can we prevent the problems? -- Types of surfaces -- How to design and construct permeable surfaces -- Looking after a permeable driveway -- Where can I find more information? -- Glossary
Summary: Discusses changes to the General Permitted Development Order (GPDO) effective from 1 October 2008 that will mean that hard surfacing of no more than five square metres will only be exempt from planning permission if the materials used are permeable. Where impermeable materials are to be used, planning permission must be sought. Provides guidance on achieving permeability and meeting the requirements for permitted development status.
