Tarmac driveways in London: Homeowners vs renters
For homeowners
You’re responsible for maintaining your driveway. Planning permission usually isn’t needed, unless the driveway directs rainwater onto the road. Surfaces should be permeable or have proper drainage. Always check with your local council if you’re unsure.
For renters
Landlords are generally responsible for major driveway repairs. If it’s unsafe (potholes, uneven surfaces), report it to your landlord or managing agent. Cosmetic upgrades like coloured tarmac usually need landlord approval.
