Do I need planning permission for a gravel driveway?

In England, a new or replacement front driveway of any size does not normally need planning permission if it uses a permeable surface such as gravel. Planning permission is needed for an impermeable surface over 5 square metres that drains onto the road. Flats, maisonettes, listed buildings and properties covered by an Article 4 Direction or other restriction may need permission, and the rules differ in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, so check with your local council if unsure.
