If you are creating a new gateway onto a road classified as A, B or C, then you will need planning consent from your local planning authority.

However, if the lane or track is unclassified, permission is not required unless substantial engineering works are involved such as soil excavation and/or bank excavation.

If you would like to find out what classification your road is then you can look at Find my Street using the link below.
