Cleckheaton is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.

What you get with our block paved driveways service
A block paved driveway is a surface of small concrete or clay blocks laid tightly on a bed of sharp sand, held in by a fixed edge and locked together with kiln-dried jointing sand. Laid on a properly dug and compacted sub-base, it carries cars for decades, and a single damaged block can be lifted and replaced without breaking the surface.
- Blocks laid in your chosen pattern, with a contrasting border if wanted
- Survey, measurements and a written, itemised quote
- Crushed-stone sub-base laid in layers and compacted
- Sharp-sand laying course screeded to falls
- Cuts at edges, around covers and against the house
Before we price your block paved driveway
- Ground conditions under the old surface and how deep the sub-base must be
- Trees and roots near the drive
- Where an electric vehicle charger cable might run
- Access for a mini-digger, skip or grab lorry
- Where rain will go: falls, lawn, border, channel or soakaway
Do you need permission in Cleckheaton?
Cleckheaton is in England, so these rules apply:
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.
