Some Guidelines on Driveway Standards
The driveway standards for a drop kerb where planning permission is not required is as follows:
Driveway size: where planning permission is not required
Option 1: End on, drive straight in, parking:
- at least 4.8 metres long from the pavement edge that’s closest to the driveway to the edge of your building
- 2.4 metres wide for a single space or 4.8 metres wide for a double space
Or
Option 2: Parking parallel to the footway:
- at least 3 metres long from the pavement edge that’s closest to the driveway to the edge of your building
- 6 metres wide
Driveway size: where planning permission is required
Bristol Council assesses each planning application on its own merits, so the measurements below are intended as a guide only.
End on, drive straight in, parking:
- at least 5.3 metres long from the pavement edge that’s closest to the driveway to the edge of your building, 4.8m if the driveway does not abut against a building
- 3 metres wide
There is generally no allowable option for vehicles to park parallel to the kerb on classified streets.
