If you're considering widening your residential driveway to accommodate more vehicles or enhance maneuverability, kindly contact streetpermit@london.ca for an application. It's essential to ensure that the widening of your driveway does not affect other utilities or municipal functions, including trees, bus shelters, street signs, hydro poles, telephone poles, cable or phone boxes, storm drains, fire hydrants, mailboxes, or other municipal infrastructure.
In London, the maximum width allowed for any residential driveway is 50% of the lot frontage, up to a maximum of 8 metres (26.3 feet), whichever is less.
