Understanding the new planning rules for front gardens

From 1st October 2008 new planning rules apply for householders wanting to lay paving in their front gardens. Planning permission is now required for any impermeable surface exceeding 5m2 in a front garden.

Using a permeable landscape geotextile fabric such as Terram GravelSure or Terram GroundSure, in conjunction with a permeable paving solution such as gravel, permeable concrete block paving or porous asphalt, planning permission will not be required.
