Block paving in Herefordshire
Inter-war semis with narrow front gardens are common in the West Midlands, so front garden conversions and drive widenings are often the practical choice.
Front drive rules in England
In England, a front drive over 5 m² needs planning permission unless it is permeable or drains to a lawn or border within your boundary. A dropped kerb needs approval from your council's highways team before work starts.
