Properties in Wales will require permeable paving for new or replacement drives from 30 September 2013.
Similar in scope to the existing requirements in England, the Welsh authorities say 'permitted development' rights will only apply to paving options that handle rainwater effectively.
This means that permeable paving must be used or a solution that drains water onto a permeable area within the property.
More information is available from this page on the Welsh Government website, in the .pdf file titled Permitted development for householders - Technical Guidance.
