Planning Drawings and Permission for Driveway's

Do I require Planning consent for a driveway?

You will be required to make a planning application to your local authority in order to gain planning consent for your driveway.

Your Planning office will then consult your local transport and highways department to consider your application.

This can be achieved if you hold a local residents permit that is applicable to the bay outside your property. As your car would

be parked on a driveway instead of the Residents Parking Bay this would usually allow the removal to go ahead. You might be

requested to give up your rights to a parking permit.

A driveway will usually be considered under a Householder Application or a Full Planning Application.

Drawing and Planning will carry out a local feasibility study, following this we will advise you of the chances for approval if an

application was made. We would require a site drawing of existing and proposed, transport PTAL statement etc. We would be

likely to charge you our Full Planning Package/ Householders Package. If you would like to enquire whether your property could

be suitable for a driveway, please call 0208 202 3665.
