Looking for a new driveway? Don't want to get planning permission? Adam & Eve Birmingham can help!

Sept. 20, 2010 - PRLog -- In October 2008, the Government introduced new legislation in England  which means some driveway installations may require planning permission. The main reason behind this decision was because of surface water flooding the drainage systems.

Planning permission is usually required if;

   * The surface covers 5 square metres in area.
   * Rain water will drain off the drive onto a public highway.
   * Rain water is to be linked to an existing surface water system that does not discharge into a soak away.

However, planning permission is not required if;

   * A permeable block is used, in conjunction with a permeable sub-base.
   * If ground is able to absorb the rain water off the drive (not clay) - using a soak away.

A professionally design driveway which makes use of permeable block paving and/or a Aco drainage system will mean planning permission's not needed.
