If your going to go for block paving just use the permeable ones and you can save on the £ for planning permission | |

You'll have to apply to the council for the dropped kerb, think they have to do the work too and it won't be cheap. | |

Why would the council lower the curb? You have to pay one of there allowed contractors to do it. | |

Unless you use something permiable you will need planning permission for that. | |

Could dig it over, flatten it off then a good membrane down, then a few tonnes of gravel over the top mad compact that down too | |

You won't get the required drainage from between the flags. You will need channels along the edge of the drive and that either going to soak away drianage system. | |

If you get the right type of block paving you won't need planning permission. | |

Ah, sand, that material highly valued for its load bearing ability. | |

No, you need to lay some stone first, type 1 preferably. Can't remember the recommended depth but I'd guess at least 150-200mm, more if when you dig through the soil you don't hit anything decent. | |

Was going to flag the whole area. I assume the way to do this is to dig up some of the grass and soil, lay some sand and put the flags on top. | |

Whether they sink is entirely dependant on what the paving is laid on (ie. Base and sub-base). The actual surface choice doesn't matter greatly. | |

Are you planning on putting the flags straight on the grass or digging them in a bit? | |

To the left of the front of our house there is a grassed area big enough for 3 small/medium sized cars. I have been advised i will need planning permission to convert this into an extended driveway. |
