Advice on Plannin permission

Hi,
I have a concrete laid car park space in the front of my house. This was not laid properly and now it has resulted in to broken concrete and grass growing between it in patches and also several dips have formed.
I want to replace the concrete with a proper brick paving so that it lasts longer.
Do I need a planning permission for this?

I doubt it, but check your council website. It is a parking space. You wish to turn it into.... a parking space!
However consider also Building Regulations. I believe you have tocomply. The rationale is that rain run-off into drains is
a) causing drains to overflow/flood and
b) reducing ground water and rain no longer soaks into the ground
So you may have to use a porous suface or some such so that rain does not end up in drains.
Check council website for BRs too.0 -
You are OK with a permeable surface ...
