Block paving in Willesden
Homes in Willesden include plenty of semis and detached houses with room for a drive, plus older terraces where parking is tighter.
Many London streets have controlled parking and narrow frontages, so we measure the car space and the crossover before anything else.
Willesden postcodes we cover include NW10 and W9.
Front drive rules in Willesden
Willesden 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.
