Check if you need permission for a driveway
Depending on where you live, you may need permission from us or your landlord.
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

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.
