What planning rules apply to driveways in Colchester and how does MyApproved handle this?
Since 2008, hard impermeable surfaces over 5m² in front gardens in England require planning permission unless SuDS drainage is incorporated. Permeable surfaces (resin bound, block paving with open-joint gaps, gravel) are exempt. Every MyApproved driveway specialist in Colchester confirms planning compliance in their written quote. Checks: government ID, £2M public liability insurance, BALI or similar trade body membership where held, and customer reference screening with drainage specification evidence.
