What to weigh up in Johnstone

  • Feasibility depends on the specific street and property age, confirmed at survey.
  • Estate housing here follows a similar pattern to neighbouring Paisley and Renfrew.
Road frontage

A driveway only applies where a property has a private garden or hard standing accessed directly from the street. Tenement flats open onto a shared close or back court and have no road frontage, so they cannot take one. Where frontage exists but no dropped kerb is in place, an application to Renfrewshire Council is normally the first step. We confirm both at survey.
