Planning a block paved patio in Kingswinford

What does a block paved patio involve?
Block suits patios that join a block drive or path, small or awkward spaces where large slabs would need too many cuts, and gardens where you want a pattern such as basketweave or a circle feature. We lay patios to fall away from the house and below the damp-proof course, with edging that stops the blocks creeping into the lawn.
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Optional sealer
- Falls away from the house and doors
- Blocks in your pattern, edges and cuts
- Dig-out and compacted sub-base (around 100 mm for foot traffic)
What the survey covers
- Trees and roots near the paving
- Edges against lawns, beds, fences and walls
- Ground conditions and how deep the dig must be
- Manhole and inspection covers in the area
- Levels against the damp-proof course and door thresholds
Do you need permission for a block paved patio in Kingswinford?
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.

Can the paving be level with the back door?
Paving normally sits at least 150 mm below the damp-proof course. A level step-out needs a drainage channel against the house and careful detailing, which we agree on the survey.
