Why Choose Us?
Understanding Permitted Development for Your Wallingford Driveway
Many homeowners in Wallingford are often surprised to learn that a new driveway might not always require formal planning permission. This is thanks to "permitted development" rights. The key factor here is often how your driveway manages surface water – a principle known as SUDS (Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems). If you choose permeable surfaces like our beautiful resin-bound driveways or permeable block paving, and the water drains naturally within your property boundary, you generally won't need planning permission. However, for non-permeable driveways exceeding 5 square metres (that's about the size of a single parking space), permission from Oxfordshire Council will almost certainly be required. We're here to help you navigate these nuances, advising on the best, most compliant material choices for your Wallingford property.

Dropped Kerbs: Your Gateway to Vehicle Access in Wallingford
While the driveway surface itself might fall under permitted development, gaining vehicle access from a public road to your property in Wallingford always, without exception, requires a dropped kerb. This is a crucial distinction, and it always needs formal permission from the local highways authority – which in your area is Oxfordshire Council. A 'kerb drop application' involves specific technical requirements and safety considerations to ensure pedestrian and road user safety. Attempting to install a dropped kerb without this vital approval can lead to significant penalties and the requirement to reinstate the kerb at your own cost. River Vale (U.K) Ltd handles this entire process for you, from initial survey to liaising directly with Oxfordshire Council, making sure your vehicle access is safe, legal, and seamlessly integrated.
