Is that road sign in your garden ?

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

Yeah, but it looks like it would restrict access somewhat if garden was gravelled

Not wishing to rain on the parade, but is that area actually big enough to get two Omegas on side by side and still leave space to get to the front door :-\

Only need to park one on the grass/front. As mentioned there is a brick paved space in front of the garage.

Close is private. Hence sign on front lawn, does not bother me  :y

Thanks for heads up on planning permission, also cost. Looking like a very good option. :)

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)

http://www.grass-reinforcement.com/index.php/advice

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

Many, many thanks for this. Awesome!  :y :y :y

I would say that the paving would look best, and I know you can't afford it..........yet!

I would lay the concrete that will eventually hold the paving (which you can lay later once you can afford it) but like TB said, check that you can do it without PP.  The presence of a dropped kerb helps your case but best to be sure :y
