Retrofitting Paving – Planning Rules

Information on using precast concrete products for retrofitting can generally be found in the appropriate section of the website for block paving, permeable block paving, flag paving and kerbs & channels. But important planning rules generally apply, which differ from new projects and should be considered early.

Permitted Paving

Current planning ‘Permitted Development’ rules aim to apply SuDS techniques to new or replacement paving around existing homes (in England and Scotland) and various non-domestic buildings (currently in England only). They take away permitted development rights from most new or replacement paving unless it is permeable paving or drains water onto a permeable area on the property.
