Check if you need permission for a driveway

Depending on where you live, you may need permission from us or your landlord.

Do not build your driveway until we've approved your dopped kerb application. 

Planning permission 

You will need planning permission if: 

  • you live in a flat or maisonette 
  • you live on a classified road 
  • you live in a conservation area 
  • your driveway does not meet drainage requirements   
  • your property or boundary wall is listed  

Email us to check if you need planning permission.

Landlord permission 

If you rent your property and it does not have a driveway, you must get your landlord's permission to build one first. 

Council tenants 

If you're a council tenant, we are your landlord. You must get permission from our Housing team.

When you've got your landlord's permission, tell us by email: transportation-admin@royalgreenwich.gov.uk   

We will then progress your application.
