Driveway & Paving quote FAQs

How much per m² for a block paved driveway in the UK?

£90–£140 per m² fitted is typical, depending on block choice, excavation depth, and drainage requirements. SuDS-compliant drainage adds cost.

Do I need planning permission for a new driveway?

In England, permeable driveways (or those with a soakaway) under permitted development don't need permission. Non-permeable surfaces over 5m² do — put a note on the quote so the customer isn't blindsided.
