What I've spent today doing.

[Rusty2009]

What about putting gates across the drive and doing a bit of concrete say 6-10" from the pavement (you can do this so the water runs out into the road) then some gravel you can always lay some tracks down for the car to sit on that way you could jack up on a solid base and if you have an old bit of board you can lay that over the gravel to lay while under the car.

When I was looking into concreting the front garden so the wife could park there I would of had to get planning permission and IIRC even if you want to replace concrete you also have to apply for planing permission as the council don't want concrete or tarmac they want surfaces that can take the water away.
