Planning a block paved patio in Jarrow

Wind-driven rain on the North East coast makes falls and a well-filled joint more important.

What is included?
A block paved patio is a garden seating or dining area paved with concrete or clay blocks on a compacted base. Because a patio carries people and furniture rather than cars, the sub-base is thinner than for a drive, but the falls, edging and drainage matter just as much.
- Falls away from the house and doors
- Optional sealer
- Blocks in your pattern, edges and cuts
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Layout marked out with you, including steps and doors
What we check on a Jarrow survey
- Steps, walls and changes of level
- Edges against lawns, beds, fences and walls
- Block range, colour, pattern and border to suit the house
- Where rain will go: falls away from the house, onto lawn or borders, or into a channel
- Levels against the damp-proof course and door thresholds
Do you need permission for a block paved patio in Jarrow?
A patio or path behind the house does not usually need planning permission. Raised patios, listed buildings and flats can be different, so we check on the survey.
Paving in front of the house follows the front-garden rules: 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.
