Front garden hard standing proposed to create one parking space

ImpactAutomated estimate

Summary

The homeowner wants to pave part of the front garden to create a parking space. They have applied for a certificate to confirm the work is legally allowed before they start.

The property is on Wembley Park Drive. Wembley Park Station is about a 5-minute walk away. A busy road runs nearby with over 7,600 vehicles a day. Whether this work needs full planning permission depends on how rainwater drains from the new surface.

Paving replaces garden with a hard surface at the front of the house. This changes how much rain soaks into the ground. Wealdstone Brook runs a few minutes' walk from the site.
