Block paving in Armagh

Armagh is a smaller town, and many of its homes have more frontage to work with than city houses, which leaves room for borders and planting.

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

Armagh postcodes we cover include BT61 and BT60.

Front drive rules in Armagh

Armagh 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.
