Permeable tarmac driveways in Wimbledon

What we do on a permeable tarmac driveway

Open-graded porous asphalt on a deep permeable stone base, so rain soaks through on site.

  • Ground check: how fast does the soil drain?
  • Dig out deeper than a standard drive to fit the storage layer
  • Open-graded permeable sub-base, often Type 3 or 4/20 stone
  • Porous asphalt binder and surface courses
  • Edge restraint that does not block the flow

Do I need permission in Wimbledon?

In England, a new hard surface over 5 m² in front of a house needs planning permission unless it is porous or drains to a lawn, border or soakaway within the property. If the job needs a dropped kerb, the highway authority (the county or unitary council) approves it before any work on the footway.
