Why Choose Us?
Understanding SUDS Compliance for Your Fleet Driveway
One of the most significant considerations for any new driveway in the UK, including Fleet, is surface water drainage, governed by SUDS (Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems) compliance. Generally, you won't need planning permission if your new driveway uses permeable materials like our popular resin-bound or permeable block paving options, or if rainwater can drain naturally onto a lawn or border within your property. However, if you opt for an impermeable surface (such as traditional tarmac or non-permeable paving) larger than 5 square metres that doesn't direct water to a permeable area, you will likely require planning permission from Hart District Council. Our expertise in drainage solutions ensures your driveway installation meets these vital environmental standards, safeguarding your property and the local area from waterlogging.

Permeable Driveways: Your Path to Avoiding Planning Permission
Choosing the right material for your new driveway in Fleet can often determine whether you need planning permission. Permeable driveways are designed to allow surface water to soak through into the ground beneath, mimicking natural drainage. This makes them inherently more environmentally friendly and often exempt from planning permission requirements related to drainage. River Vale (U.K) Ltd excels in installing a variety of permeable driveways, including stunning resin driveways and versatile block paving driveways using permeable blocks. These options not only enhance your home's kerb appeal but also simplify the planning application process, giving you peace of mind and a compliant, beautiful entrance.

0118 230 7883The Importance of a Dropped Kerb Licence in Hampshire
Regardless of your chosen driveway surface, if your project involves creating or altering vehicle access from a public road in Fleet, you will always need a dropped kerb licence. This isn't a planning permission matter but rather a requirement from Hampshire County Council, who are responsible for highways. Installing a dropped kerb without the necessary permission is illegal and can lead to significant fines and demands for reinstatement. Our team at River Vale (U.K) Ltd can advise on the process for obtaining this essential licence, helping you seamlessly connect your new driveway to the public highway in compliance with local authority regulations.
