Driveway Concrete

Laying a concrete driveway is one of the most popular projects for home owners and using a volumetric concrete supplier like Ronimix makes it much easier. A concrete driveway correctly laid will be strong long-lasting and good looking, but it will take preparation. Before you contact Ronimix, you need to find out if you need planning permission.

Planning

Specific rules apply for householders wanting to pave over their front gardens. You will not need planning permission if a new or replacement driveway of any size uses permeable (or porous) surfacing which allows water to drain through, or if using concrete the rainwater is directed to a lawn or border to drain naturally. More details can be found on the planning portal
