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

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.
