Check the conservation area rules first

Petts Wood has several conservation areas on Bromley Council's list: Station Square, The Chenies, The Covert, The Thrifts, and Chislehurst Road in Petts Wood. In June 2025 the council adopted conservation area appraisal and management plans for The Covert, The Thrifts and Chislehurst Road, among others. These documents describe what the council considers important about each area, and front gardens can be part of that. Bromley Council publishes a map and list of its conservation areas, so you can check whether your road is inside one. If your home is inside one of these areas, read the relevant document and check with the council before planning a new driveway.

Keeping some green

Even outside a conservation area, many Petts Wood homeowners want parking without losing the whole front garden. A resin drive can be laid as two wheel tracks with planting between, or as a parking bay with a planted border. Directing water to planted areas also helps with drainage and the front garden planning rules.

Planning and drainage

Permeable construction matters here, because government guidance on front gardens links planning permission to drainage. We explain the detail in our dropped kerbs guide.

Dropped kerbs

If you want to park on a front garden that has no dropped kerb, you need a vehicle crossover from Bromley Council before you drive over the pavement. The council builds crossovers itself. Our dropped kerbs guide sets out the council's steps.
