Block paving in Westhoughton
Westhoughton is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.
The North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so falls, channel drains and permeable options matter more than usual.
Westhoughton postcodes we cover include BL5 and BL6.
Front drive rules in Westhoughton
Westhoughton 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.
