Driveways In Essex
Driveways are often seen as a staple part of a property, as well as being a very valuable asset for owners of vehicles. If you are trying to sell your property or improve its value, a poorly designed driveway often affects this. It will not only make your property look a lot less appealing from its exterior, but will also contribute negatively to its overall value on the housing market.
Even if you are not looking to sell your home anytime soon, refreshing your current driveway can help produce a significant statement about your property. With many different types of driveways for you to choose from, such as block paving, concrete, or tarmac, your driveway can be designed based on your personal preferences and requirements.
A well-designed driveway can not only provide the property with instant kerb appeal, but the homeowners will also appreciate the practical, hardwearing surface for access to and from the home. It will be designed to withstand the toughest uses, being crafted to perfection in order to ensure the highest longevity. So, rather than opting for the first design that comes to mind, it is best to have a conversation with a team of specialists who have your best interests at heart.

Do you need planning permission?
As a homeowner, if you are looking to pave over your front garden, there are some specific rules that may apply to you.
If the proposed driveway is going to cover more than five square metres, planning permission will be needed for laying traditional, impermeable driveways that do not provide for the water to run to a permeable area.
On the other hand, planning permission is not required if a new or replacement driveway of any size uses permeable surfacing which allows water to drain through. These materials include gravel, permeable concrete block paving or porous asphalt.
Our team would happily advise you on whether planning permission is required before any work is taken place, ensuring you are completely compliant as a homeowner.
