Is planning required to convert front garden to hard driveway

buzz11 · 2019-05-30 09:48:36

Leaving aside gate opening and kerb matters, is planning permission required to convert a driveway & garden into driveway only i.e. with no soakage for rainwater. It appears very common that people are removing gardens and putting in non-permeable full sized driveways, so I'm wondering if planning is required.

Yes, planning permission required....at least so I believe.

I think Dublin City Council have it in some guidance document that planning permission is required.
