East London properties often have smaller front gardens and shared access, which means careful planning is essential. Many homeowners combine a driveway with a dropped kerb (applied through the local council, typically £800–£1,500). Permeable surfaces like resin bound or permeable block paving are increasingly popular as they avoid the need for planning permission under the 2008 regulations.
