Guidance on the permeable surfacing of front gardens
- Published: 10 September 2008
- Site: Planning, building and the environment
Summary
From 1 October 2008, the Government will introduce changes
to the General Permitted Development Order making the hard
surfacing of more than 5 square metres of domestic front
gardens permitted development only where the surface in
question is rendered permeable. Use of traditional materials,
such as impermeable concrete, where there was no facility in
place to ensure permeability, requires an application for
planning permission.
The purpose of the guidance is to advise householders of the
options for achieving permeability and meeting the condition
for permitted development status.
