Block paving in Ballymoney

Around Ballymoney, plots are often larger and drives longer, so edging, falls and the route the water takes need planning.

Wet winters in Northern Ireland make falls, edge restraints and full joints especially important.

Ballymoney postcodes we cover include BT53.

Front drive rules in Ballymoney

Ballymoney is in Northern Ireland:

In Northern Ireland, a hard surface between the front of the house and the road that covers or replaces more than 5 m² must be porous or permeable, or drain to a permeable area within the property, to be permitted development.

Hard surfaces within the grounds of a listed building need listed building consent. Planning is handled by your district council, so check with its planning office if you are unsure.

Dropped kerbs in Northern Ireland are approved by DfI Roads (the Department for Infrastructure), not the council; check planning separately with the council.

General guidance, not legal advice. Your survey confirms what applies to your home. See the planning guide.
