Block Paving 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.
Block paving offers unparalleled versatility. From traditional herringbone patterns to modern staggered designs, our master pavers meticulously lay every block so your driveway stays beautifully level for years to come. We use premium concrete and clay pavers from leading manufacturers including Marshalls, Brett, and Tobermore, available in an extensive range of colours, textures, and styles. The result is a surface that is hard-wearing, easy to maintain, and strikingly beautiful.
Block Paving in Brockenhurst & New Forest — Local Detail
In the New Forest National Park, we recommend permeable block paving as the default for any new driveway — it eliminates the need for additional soakaway drainage, satisfies NFNPA planning policy, and uses natural-toned materials sympathetic to the forest setting. We advise on permeable block systems from Marshalls and Brett that meet the Park's requirements.
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.

Block Paving 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.
