Why Choose Us?
Understanding SUDS Compliance for Your Basingstoke Driveway
A significant aspect of driveway planning permission in the UK, including Basingstoke, revolves around Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS). The core idea is to manage rainwater runoff effectively, preventing flooding and reducing strain on public drainage systems. For your new driveway project, this generally means:
- Permeable Materials: If your new driveway uses permeable materials like our popular resin-bound or permeable block paving and drains naturally, you typically won't need planning permission from Hampshire Council, provided the area is over five square metres. These materials allow water to soak through into the ground beneath.
- Non-Permeable Surfaces: If your driveway is over five square metres and uses non-permeable materials such as tarmac or standard concrete, or if it directs water to a public drain, you will likely need to apply for planning permission. We specialise in SUDS-compliant solutions, ensuring your installation meets environmental standards while offering practical benefits for your home.

The Importance of a Dropped Kerb Licence in Hampshire
Regardless of your chosen driveway material, if you need to access your property from a public highway, a dropped kerb is almost always required. This is a separate application process from general planning permission and requires a licence from the local highways authority (which for Basingstoke, is Hampshire Council). You absolutely cannot simply drop a kerb yourself, as it involves altering public property and ensuring safety for pedestrians and road users. Our team at River Vale (U.K) Ltd can advise on the dropped kerb application process, helping you navigate the requirements to secure proper, legal access to your new driveway.
