Outside designations, a permeable resin driveway is normally permitted development. Ground conditions vary across the town, so drainage should follow a site assessment.

Farnham homes and driveways

Farnham is known for one of the best-preserved Georgian townscapes in the South East, alongside Victorian villas in The Bourne, interwar homes in Upper Hale and rural properties towards Tilford. Many older homes have narrow frontages; others in The Bourne and Boundstone sit on large, sloping plots.

Ground and drainage

Farnham sits where several geological beds meet, so ground can change from free-draining sand to slower clay within a short distance. The installer should carry out a simple infiltration test before deciding between a drain-to-ground build-up and one with storage and an outlet. See drainage.

What suits Farnham properties

  • Georgian and period homes: muted warm blends with clay paver or sett borders.
  • Sloping plots in The Bourne: anti-slip grit and drainage at the low point.
  • Rural properties: natural blends, or resin parking areas with gravel kept elsewhere for character.
