Searching for high-quality driveways in Chigwell? PMB Paving & Landscapes designs and installs block paving, resin-bound, and tarmac driveways throughout Chigwell, Chigwell Row and the surrounding Epping Forest area. Every driveway is built on a fully engineered sub-base with proper drainage, and finished to a standard that suits Chigwell’s smart residential streets, backed by an honest, fixed quote before we start.
Driveways that match Chigwell homes
Chigwell is known for its handsome detached homes and generous frontages, and the driveway is the first thing visitors and buyers notice. A well-designed drive frames the property, creates safe off-street parking, and adds real value. We take time to match the material, colour and laying pattern to your home’s style from classic block paving on a traditional frontage to a clean, contemporary resin-bound finish on a modern build.
Because we work regularly across Chigwell, Loughton and Woodford, we understand local ground conditions and access constraints, which means a flatter, better-draining, longer-lasting driveway with no nasty surprises mid-project.

Do you need planning permission for a driveway in Chigwell?
Usually not as long as the surface is permeable or drains to a permeable area within your boundary. Under permitted development rights, planning permission is only required to lay an impermeable front-garden driveway larger than five square metres where water can’t drain away naturally. Permeable block paving, resin-bound systems and channel drainage all keep you compliant. The official position is set out by GOV.UK and the Planning Portal. We build SUDS-compliant drainage into every Chigwell driveway as standard.
Adding an EV charger to your driveway in 2026
With many Chigwell households moving to electric vehicles, here’s some welcome news: from 3 June 2026, you no longer need planning permission to install an EV charge point on your driveway in England. We can lay your new drive EV-ready, with cabling routes and a charger base prepared, so installation later is quick and tidy.
How we install your Chigwell driveway
It starts with a free site survey to measure up, check levels and talk through materials and budget. You then get a clear written quote with no hidden costs. During installation we excavate to the right depth, lay and compact a stone sub-base, fit edge restraints and drainage, lay your chosen surface, and finish with jointing or sealing. The site is left clean and safe at the end of each day.
