At All County Driveways Ltd, we understand that planning permission can be a concern when considering a new driveway. Generally speaking, you will not need planning permission for replacing an existing driveway, however if you are enlarging considerably then planning may be required. When you are laying a driveway using permeable (or porous) surfacing that allows water to drain through, such as gravel, permeable concrete block paving, or porous asphalt. Additionally, if you are directing runoff water to a lawn or border to drain naturally, planning permission would typically not be required.

However, if your new driveway or patio involves significant alterations to the existing drainage system or if you plan to use non-permeable materials such as traditional asphalt or concrete, you may need to seek planning permission. Local regulations and guidelines can vary, so we highly recommend consulting with your local planning authority to ensure compliance with all necessary requirements.

At All County Driveways Ltd, our experts are here to assist you through every step of the process, ensuring that your project meets all legal requirements while delivering the highest quality results. If you have any further questions or need personalized advice, don't hesitate to contact us.

Yes, we can often install driveways on uneven or sloped ground, but it depends on your site conditions. Our team will conduct a free site assessment to determine the best solution. If suitable, we can level, regrade, or stabilize the base. If not, we’ll suggest alternatives like retaining walls or better drainage systems. Contact us for a free, no-obligation survey.

For most driveways and patios, you should reseal every 5 years — but the exact timing depends on the type of surface, weather conditions, and how much use the area gets.

At All County Driveways, we recommend regular resealing to protect against fading, oil stains, and water damage. Keeping your surface properly sealed not only improves its appearance but also extends its lifespan and makes cleaning much easier.

Here’s a quick guide:

• Block paving: Every 5 years, or sooner if you notice colour fading or moss growth.

• Tarmac driveways: Every 5 years, depending on wear and exposure to sunlight.

• Resin driveways: Typically every 5 years, but spot resealing may be needed in high-traffic areas.

• Concrete or patio slabs: Every 5 years, depending on porosity and weather conditions.

If your driveway or patio is losing its shine, feels rough, or allows water to soak in rather than bead on the surface, it’s probably time to reseal.
