A CV23 postcode on a Northamptonshire village

Kilsby is a genuine oddity in our patch, and it is worth clearing up. The village is in Northamptonshire and is administered by West Northamptonshire Council, but its postcode district is CV23, which is the Rugby postal area in Warwickshire. Residents regularly get told by trade websites that they are outside a Northamptonshire installer’s area, purely because a postcode lookup put them in Coventry and Warwickshire.

To be clear: we cover Kilsby. It is a short drive north of our Daventry base, closer to us than plenty of the NN postcodes we work in every week. If a postcode checker has told you otherwise, ignore it and call us.

Local detail

What shapes a driveway in Kilsby

  • CV23 postcode but a Northamptonshire village — West Northamptonshire Council is the planning authority, not Rugby Borough.
  • Roughly five and a half miles from our Daventry base, so surveys are straightforward.
  • Elevated, fairly exposed position — UV-stable resin resists the yellowing that hits cheaper systems on open frontages.
  • Mix of older village housing and newer development — aggregate blends chosen to suit each property.
Planning, in short. In England you can normally lay a new front driveway of any size without planning permission provided the surface is permeable, or run-off is directed to a permeable area within your own boundary. More than five square metres of impermeable surfacing generally needs permission. Every driveway we lay is fully permeable. For anything site-specific, West Northamptonshire Council is your planning authority.

Questions

Resin driveways in Kilsby: common questions

Do you cover Kilsby, even though it is a CV postcode?
Yes. Kilsby has a CV23 postcode because it sits in the Rugby postal area, but the village itself is in Northamptonshire and it is only about five and a half miles from our Daventry base. Postcode-based trade directories often get this wrong. We cover Kilsby as standard.
Which council handles planning for Kilsby?
West Northamptonshire Council. The CV23 postcode refers to the postal area centred on Rugby, but Kilsby is a Northamptonshire village and is not administered by Rugby Borough Council.
How long does a resin driveway take to install in a village like Kilsby?
For a typical domestic driveway, laying the resin itself is usually a single day. The overall timescale depends on whether the existing base is sound enough to lay over or whether a new base has to be excavated and built up first, which is what the survey establishes.
