Major structural differences between a plant and an animal cell include: Plant cells have a cell wall, but animals cells do not. Cell walls provide support and give shape to plants. Plant cells have chloroplasts, but animal cells do not.

Due to its permeable qualities, it’s efficient for sloping driveways. The average cost for resin will be around £40 per m². but can increase significantly depending on the materials used, and a higher-end price is more in the region of £70 per m².

Gravel driveways are hands-down the most affordable option upfront. Asphalt driveways place second in cost, followed by cement and pavers. Although gravel driveways are the least expensive initially, they require the most maintenance long-term.

The cost of a tarmac driveway per square meter (m2) will depend on the size and shape of the area, but to avoid ‘cowboy builders’ and a poor job you should always be prepared to pay at least between £45–£60 per square meter. In general you should expect to pay more: If the area is too small. If the job is too small.

In 2008, a law was introduced around planning permission for driveways. This means any homeowner looking to pave a front garden of more than five square metres needs to gain permission to do so.

In a nutshell, you do not require planning permission to turn your front garden area into a driveway or replace an existing driveway, so long as you will use permeable (porous) surfacing to allow water to drain through.

From Garden To Driveway: What You Need to Know

1. Your first step is to get permission from your local council to put a dropped kerb in place.
2. The next step is to determine whether you need planning permission for the driveway itself.
3. Once you know what permissions you need, and you have them in place, the fun can start!
