Permeable
Paving
From 1 October 2008 new
planning regulations came into force. You can no longer pave over
your front garden without considering where the surface water may
drain to.
You do NOT need planning
permission when a new driveway uses permeable (or porous) surfacing
which allows water to drain through, such as gravel, permeable concrete
block paving or porous asphalt, or if the rainwater is directed
to a lawn or border to drain naturally.
If the surface to be
covered is more than five square metres planning permission will
be needed for laying traditional, impermeable driveways that do
not control rainwater running off onto roads.
Installation
The suitability of permeable
paving is dependent on soil type. Basic preparation is the same
regardless of finish, with full excavation, site clearance and setting
of levels. All edges must still be concreted into position. Unlike
standard block paving which is laid on an MOT type 1 base, sharp
sand and finished with a kiln dried joint finishing sand, permeable
paving requires a sub- base of 20mm washed aggregate. The blocks
are then laid on a 6mm washed aggregate, compacted and jointed with
6mm aggregate.
