A permit is generally not required for a 'like-for-like' replacement where the size and location remain the same. However, if you are widening the driveway or cutting the curb, a permit is mandatory, with a minimum fee of $260.37 in 2026.
Under London's zoning by-laws, the maximum width for a residential driveway is 8 metres (26.3 feet) or 50% of the lot frontage, whichever is less. This is measured at the street line.
In 2026, concrete driveways in London range from $12 to $22 per sq ft, while asphalt remains more affordable at $5.50 to $10.00 per sq ft. For a standard 600 sq ft driveway, concrete typically costs $4,000 to $7,000 more upfront.
With London's freeze-thaw cycles, a professionally installed asphalt driveway with a proper 8-12 inch granular base typically lasts 15-20 years, provided it is seal-coated every 2-3 years at a cost of approximately $0.25-$0.50 per sq ft.
