lthough a requirement for most new
developments, other – often forgotten


  • planning measures encouraging
    sustainable drainage (or SuDS) also apply to
    new or replacement paving around existing
    properties. They are explained in brand new
    editions of Interpave’s ‘Permitted Paving’and
    other guidelines, which are now available to
    download via http://www.paving.org.uk
    Originating from the government-backed
    Pitt Review, various requirements for SuDS
    affecting retrofitted new and replacement
    paving were put in place through changes to
    planning rules in England, Scotland and
    Wales some time ago. But the growing
    awareness of the importance of SuDS and
    permeable paving in the fight against flooding
    means increasingly robust enforcement by
    local authorities today.
    Before these changes, paving anywhere in
    a garden related to a ‘dwellinghouse’ or
    within various non-residential properties,
    using any materials, was considered to be


‘permitted development’ – effectively, an
automatic planning permission without
needing a planning application. But these
rights no longer apply to new or replacement
drives or other paving between a house and
the street, or within industrial, warehouse,
office and shop premises – unless it is
permeable paving or drains water onto a
permeable area within the property.
Otherwise planning permission will be
needed but – with the latest national and local
planning policies encouraging or requiring

SuDS – unlikely to be granted. For example,
the Greater London Authority includes a
strong presumption against impermeable
paving in its proposed planning policies.
