What to weigh up in Newton Mearns

  • Larger plots generally mean more design flexibility on material and layout.
  • Family housing profile also supports strong demand for driveways sized for two vehicles.
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 East Renfrewshire Council is normally the first step. We confirm both at survey.
