Asphalt Driveways Services in Brockenhurst & New Forest
Brockenhurst is at the heart of the New Forest National Park, and working here demands a level of care and environmental sensitivity that not all contractors can offer. The National Park has its own planning policies that can affect driveway and patio works — materials, drainage, and the treatment of the forest edge all fall under additional scrutiny. White & Sons has worked extensively across the New Forest, and we understand what is and is not permissible under New Forest National Park Authority (NFNPA) planning policy. We select materials and drainage systems sympathetically to this exceptional environment.
Asphalt (often referred to as Tarmac or Tarmacadam) is one of the most popular, cost-effective, and good-looking surfacing solutions for residential driveways. With 91 years of expertise, White & Sons creates smooth, beautifully finished asphalt driveways that look superb and stand up to the British weather and everyday use for many years. We assess each property individually and recommend the right approach for your home, delivering a clean, hard-wearing surface with crisp edges that enhances your property and keeps looking its best.
Planning & Drainage in Brockenhurst & New Forest
The New Forest National Park has strict policies on surface water management. Impermeable surfaces that discharge to the roadside or to forest drainage channels can trigger planning objections. We design all drainage systems to manage surface water within the property boundary — typically using soakaways in the gravel-based New Forest soils, which are among the most permeable in Hampshire.

Asphalt Driveways in Brockenhurst & New Forest — Common Questions
Do I need New Forest National Park approval for a new driveway?
It depends on your property's location within the National Park boundary and the scale of the work. Some driveway and boundary works may require planning permission from the New Forest National Park Authority (NFNPA), which has its own policies on surface materials and drainage. We assess this on every site survey and advise you clearly before any work begins.
Are permeable surfaces required in the New Forest?
Not always required by law, but strongly preferred by NFNPA planning policy. Permeable block paving, gravel, and other free-draining surfaces are the easiest way to satisfy the Park's drainage requirements without a separate planning application. We recommend permeable solutions for all New Forest driveway projects.
Who handles dropped kerbs in Brockenhurst?
Dropped kerb applications in Brockenhurst go to Hampshire County Council Highways. Where the property is also within the National Park, NFNPA may also need to be consulted. We manage the full process on your behalf.
