Find out if you need planning permission

Before you apply, you must check if you need planning permission.

You may need planning permission if:

• your access point is to be constructed on an A, B or C class road
• your property is a new build
• you are changing the use of your garden to a driveway
• you are surfacing over an area greater that 5 metres squared (unless you are using permeable material)
• the access point passes over land which is registered as common land or a village green
• you are removing the grass strip in front of your property
