Block paving in Stratford

Homes in Stratford include plenty of semis and detached houses with room for a drive, plus older terraces where parking is tighter.

Front gardens in much of London are short, so parking depth and the dropped kerb usually decide whether a drive is possible.

Stratford postcodes we cover include E15, E3, E7 and E9.

Front drive rules in Stratford

Stratford is in England:

In England, paving in front of the house that covers more than 5 m² needs planning permission unless it is permeable or drains to a lawn, border or soakaway inside your boundary. Permeable block paving, or standard blocks laid to fall onto a planted strip, avoid the need for permission in most cases.

Flats and maisonettes, listed buildings, and homes covered by an Article 4 direction can have tighter rules, and conservation areas, National Parks and National Landscapes restrict some permitted development.

A dropped kerb needs your local highway authority's approval (usually the county, unitary, metropolitan or London borough council), and a new access onto an A, B or C classified road also needs planning permission.

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