In England, replacing a front garden driveway with a non-permeable surface larger than 5m² requires either planning permission or the incorporation of adequate drainage to manage surface water runoff. Permeable surfaces — including permeable block paving, resin-bound gravel and gravel — are exempt from this requirement under Permitted Development rights.
A separate application to the local highways authority is required for any new or widened dropped kerb, regardless of the driveway surface. Your Bexley local authority has its own process and timeline for dropped kerb approvals, and experienced local Driveway Specialists will be familiar with this. Starting the dropped kerb application early is advisable as processing times vary.

Drainage Complexity and Driveway Cost in Bexley
Managing surface water drainage is an integral part of driveway installation in Bexley and its cost depends on the complexity of what is required. A simple cross-fall to an adjacent border or lawn requires minimal additional work. Channel drainage across the front of the driveway, connection to an existing surface water drain or construction of a soakaway are progressively more involved and costly.
If your site has poor natural drainage, a high water table or is close to a watercourse, more complex drainage solutions may be necessary. Your driveway specialist will identify drainage requirements during the site survey and include the appropriate provision in their quote. Do not accept a quote that makes no mention of drainage — it is either missing from the scope or the contractor is not applying adequate attention to this critical aspect.
Frequently Asked Questions: Driveway Specialists in Bexley
Driveway costs in Bexley vary by surface type and size. A typical single-car block paving driveway (approx. 30m²) usually costs between £2,500 and £5,000. Resin bound is often slightly higher; tarmac is generally the most cost-effective option. Use our form to get tailored quotes.
If you are replacing more than 5m² of front garden with a non-permeable surface (such as solid concrete), you may need planning permission.

With proper installation and maintenance: block paving can last 25–30 years; resin bound 15–25 years; tarmac 20–30 years; concrete 25–40 years. The quality of the sub-base preparation is the most important factor in longevity, regardless of surface type.
