New rules for driveway paving
New rules apply to paving over your front garden under regulations that came into effect from 1 October 2008.
Elsewhere around your house there are no restrictions on the area of land which you can cover with hard surfaces at, or near, ground level.
However, significant works of embanking or terracing to support a hard surface might need a planning application.
