Block paving in Caldicot
Caldicot 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.
Hilly streets in much of Wales mean many drives slope, which shapes the falls, the edging and the water route.
Caldicot postcodes we cover include NP26.
Front drive rules in Caldicot
Caldicot is in Wales:
In Wales, any new or replacement hard surface at the front of a house should be permeable or drain to a permeable area within the property to avoid needing planning permission. Unlike England, there is no 5 m² allowance for new paving; only repairs of up to 5 m² of existing surface are exempt.
Since January 2019, construction work covering 100 m² or more with drainage implications, including drives and patios, needs approval from the local SuDS Approving Body (SAB) before work starts, even where planning permission is not needed.
A dropped kerb needs your council's approval as highway authority, and a new access onto a classified road needs planning permission.
General guidance, not legal advice. Your survey confirms what applies to your home. See the planning guide.
