Local Insight

In London, you need a dropped kerb (crossover) to legally drive across the pavement onto your driveway. Apply through your local council — costs £1,500–£3,000. If your new driveway is impermeable (block paving without drainage), you'll need planning permission if it's over 5sqm. Permeable surfaces (resin-bound, gravel, permeable block paving) avoid this requirement.

Driveway Specialist in London — FAQs

How much does a new driveway cost in London?
A typical London driveway (30–50sqm) costs £2,500–£5,000 for tarmac, £3,000–£7,000 for block paving, or £2,500–£5,000 for resin-bound. This includes excavation, sub-base, edging, and surfacing.
Do I need planning permission for a driveway?
If your driveway is over 5sqm and uses impermeable materials, yes. Permeable surfaces (resin-bound, gravel, permeable block paving) don't need permission regardless of size. You'll also need a dropped kerb — apply through your London borough council.
How long does a driveway installation take?
A typical London driveway takes 3–5 days. This includes excavation (1 day), sub-base (1 day), and surfacing (1–3 days depending on material). Block paving takes longest; tarmac is quickest.
What's the best driveway material for London?
Block paving is the most popular for its durability and appearance. Resin-bound is gaining popularity for its modern look and permeability. Tarmac is the most cost-effective. Your choice depends on budget, aesthetics, and drainage requirements.
