Does my driveway in Bedford need planning permission?
Many homeowners in the Bedford area often ask ‘will my driveway need planning permission?’ Well, the answer is that all depends on whether you are having a replacement driveway or a new driveway created where there wasn’t one before or whether you live in a conservation area.
It can also depend on the materials you choose. Generally speaking, most councils in England do not require planning permission for driveways which are porous such as resin bound aggregate or gravel, but may require it for new driveways such as block paving, stone or tarmac.
And, if you are having a brand new driveway installed for the first time where there wasn’t a driveway before, you will also need to have a dropped kerb installed on the public footway in front of your home for which you will need permission from the council.
It’s always better to check with your local authority first. In Bedford that is Bedford Borough Council which includes Kempston.
