Victorian terraces throughout Battersea often struggle with parking, particularly near Northcote Road where original carriage entrances have long since vanished. Modern families need practical solutions that work within tight boundaries. Strategic driveway extensions unlock dormant potential in front gardens, creating functional parking without sacrificing kerb appeal.
Extending driveways involves careful assessment of drainage patterns, particularly crucial given SW11's proximity to the Thames flood plain. Permeable surfaces help manage water runoff whilst meeting planning requirements. Block paving, resin-bound gravel, or natural stone each offer distinct advantages depending on your property's existing materials and gradient.
Years of experience navigating Wandsworth Council's planning maze means fewer delays for your project. Local knowledge matters when dealing with conservation area restrictions common around Battersea Square and surrounding streets.
