A. As of 1st October 2008, a submission for Planning Permission will be required for Impermeable Surfaces, like Pattern Imprinted Concrete. The Purpose of this requirement is to prevent the Stormwater Drain System in the road (and eventually the rivers) from being unnecessarily overfilled in periods of heavy rainfall. However, these requirements only apply to the area between the front of the house and the road.

Block Paving Cambridge’s job is to satisfy both the requirements of our customers and the local council. We can do this with soakaways and draining to the garden. On properties with particularly poor drainage, we are permitted to make use of the storm drains. Providing we make our best effort to drain driveway-accumulated rainwater into the sub-soils below, you will not need planning permission.

Our Site Surveyor will look into every option to make sure that all planning requirements are met. On rare occasions, there may be no option but to apply for Planning Permission. We are happy to apply for Planning Permission on your behalf, which will cost £250.00 and usually takes about eight weeks to complete.

A. Work usually begins at your property within two weeks of accepting our quotation.
