What is included?
Clay block paving uses pavers made from fired clay rather than concrete. The colour runs right through the paver and does not fade, so a clay drive looks much the same after twenty years as it did when it was laid, and it weathers in the way a brick wall does.
Block drives laid twenty or thirty years ago are often ready for re-laying rather than replacing, because sound blocks outlast a weak base.
- Clean cuts with a wet saw where the pattern meets edges and covers
- Clay pavers laid in herringbone, basketweave or stretcher bond
- Advice on paver colour and size to suit the house
- Dig-out, edging and compacted sub-base
- Jointing sand brushed in and the surface compacted with a protective pad
What the survey covers
- Trees and roots near the drive
- Block range, thickness, colour and pattern to suit the house
- Ground conditions under the old surface and how deep the sub-base must be
- The kerb: is it already dropped, and is it wide enough?
- Levels against the damp-proof course (the finished paving must sit at least 150 mm below it)
Rules for front drives in Lincolnshire
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.
