not trying to tell you how to suck eggs but its been in force since 1st October 2008
the permitted development rights that allow householders to pave their front gardens for hard standings without planning permission has changed.
Planning permission is now required to lay traditional impermeable driveways that allow uncontrolled runoff of rainwater from the front gardens onto the road because this can contribute to flooding and pollution of watercourses
If a new driveway or parking area is constructed using permeable surfaces such as permeable block paving, porous asphalt or gravel or if the water is able to soak into the ground via soil borders or a soak away you will not require planning permission
These new planning rules also apply to where existing hard standing are being replaced and apply to hard surfaces exceeding 5 square metres in area
I think there is only me installing drainage in my area as every new driveway I see being installed does not have any and I am yet to hear of any enforcement notices in my area as there are not enough local authority staff to police the legislation

I kicked up a big stink about them three bricks I have OCD with that kind of thing too,but my dad does most of the picking up of materials
And he doesn't get involved with brickwork old school ground worker
He absolutely hates the trouble we have with clients and bricks matching this and that.
Let just say it wasn't worth another row on a Monday morning lol
convinced customer it was a bit of a feature ???
Client was still well happy

YAWN . . just for the record I am not really bothered you think I am a knob as we never ever leave a job until everything has been made tidy each evening including sweeping up any debris . . . unlike yourself.
I got a large job off the back of that thread as the customer who read the comments knew I would be very clean and tidy. . . unlike "YOU" :p
