Well I hold my hands up And stand corrected.
You learn something new every day

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

[Thepinkpavingco]

I don't want to give people the impression I'm running a mickey mouse company.
But in all honesty out of the last say ten driveways we've installed
This is the only one without SUDS I'll take all of your info on board
And put them in in future. Scouts honour

[Thepinkpavingco]

at the bottom :;):
that looks very nice mr.pink
very very artistic
shame about that 1 class A red being a different hue of red to the others?
it does my head in,when i go to buy class A solids they are called class b solids now and they are a different colour to all the ones with 3 holes in
arghhhhhhhh my OCD

the gaffer likes those type of steps
and it does look toot sweet

[Thepinkpavingco]

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

[Thepinkpavingco]

Here's what it looked like before

[Thepinkpavingco]

Voila !

[local patios and driveway]

LPAD . . . yeah but yours was crap all over the pavement too ???

Yes yes but like i explained at the time it was during the work... You were a nob about it then too. Nowt changes :p

[mickg]

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

[lutonlagerlout]

impressed with those steps mr. pink
do you reckon there is enough in it do paving full time?
we are more builders than pavers,but there never seems to be enough paving work to do it full time around here
so the building work is the bread and butter

dan and mick
,lets put it to bed now :;):
