Concreting over it is no longer legal ::) if natural drainage then that must be retained, be it gravel, the product just mentioned or grass :y

Hence just these "strips" of gravel, everything is maintained (nearly)

Interested to see what these grass things are. They spread the load I assume?  :-\

A full parking area may need planning permission, that may not be granted.

Drive long enough for 2 cars? Its a pain, but you soon get used to it
It certainly is, esp when you're wife can't reverse for toffee.

Many thanks chaps  :y

Hummm grass protector? Looks like it could do the job, just need to find out if those hatches could take weight. Looks like when parked no weight would be on them, but could be passed over.

Like idea of that though, looks like could just slap that down and drive on, assuming all is ok underneath.  :)

Me likey  :)

Those grass things are often used at airstrips for parking planes where there is no concrete apron.

I think the tarmac is the road/close. The block paving is the drive? Going by initial post, anyway.

A question in the page given below is:

Q. Do I need planning permission to install these products on my front lawn?
A. No. GrassProtecta, BodPave & TurfProtecta are all permeable paving systems and therefore are compliant with the new governmental laws regarding Sustainable Urban Drainage (SUDS)

The price is not going to break the bank either, as the link below should be enough for 2 x 5m car tracks.  :y :y :y
