Why Choose Us?
Understanding Permitted Development and SUDS in Test Valley
For many homeowners in Andover, a new driveway falls under 'permitted development' rights, meaning you might not need planning permission. However, this largely depends on the materials you choose and how surface water is managed. If your new driveway in Andover exceeds five square metres and uses non-permeable materials (like traditional tarmac or concrete that doesn't allow water to drain through), you'll likely need planning permission to ensure it complies with SUDS (Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems) regulations. We specialise in permeable paving solutions, such as /resin-driveways and /block-paving-driveways, which often negate the need for formal permission by allowing water to soak naturally into the ground, reducing flood risk. We'll assess your property's specific needs and advise on the most suitable, compliant option.

The Importance of a Dropped Kerb Licence in Andover
A crucial, often overlooked aspect of any new driveway in Andover that accesses a public road is the requirement for a dropped kerb. This isn't a planning permission matter, but a licence from Hampshire County Council as the highways authority is always needed for vehicular access. It ensures the safety of pedestrians and road users and protects the integrity of the pavement. River Vale (U.K) Ltd can provide essential planning guidance on this, helping you understand the process and making sure your driveway installation includes this vital component. We aim to simplify the entire journey for you, from initial design to final, compliant access.

Beyond the driveway surface itself, other elements of your outdoor transformation, like /fencing-services and boundary walls, might also have planning considerations in Andover. Generally, fences next to a highway or footpath are limited to 1 metre in height without planning permission, while elsewhere, a 2-metre height limit usually applies. These local regulations can be stricter if your property is within a Conservation Area or is a listed building, both of which are common in and around Andover. Our team provides clear advice on these rules, helping you choose and install compliant fencing that enhances your property's aesthetic and security without unexpected complications.
