BikeChick Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Hi thereDoes anyone have a recommendation for a landscaper/builder for turning their front garden into a driveway and garden? I know all about the dropped curb application process, etc, but am looking for someone who can advise on design and do the work - has anyone done such a thing in East/West Dulwich? Thanks Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/36201-front-driveway-worklandscaping/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

slh2009 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Hi we just had a new driveway from www.affordabledrivesandpatios.com and are pleased with it. We are probably going to have them back to relay our patio. I didn't actually meet the guy (John) but my partner is quite hard to impress and he rated him.....

bodsier Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Can you do this without permission, I thought southwark had restricted the paving of soil due to drainage issues, in particular flooding problems?

mackfish Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 You do need permission to lower the kerb. But I have not heard that you need planning permission to change the front garden. Where did you hear that from? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/36201-front-driveway-worklandscaping/#findComment-720173 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I do know that a couple of years ago or more there was serious flooding in parts of ED around Hindmans and Uplands Roads and there was talk about reducing the number of people who were changing their front gardens into concreted drives as the flow off of rainwater was adding to flooding. Not sure whether you have to get planning permission - perhaps James Barber will know.
