Gates are often the most visible part of your property and it is important to enhance the aesthetics and keep it in balance with your home. The right sort of gates will add value to your house, offer security, and define your boundary. With gates above eye-level it sends out a subliminal message that says “this property is secure” to would-be optimistic intruders. There are many options for materials - wood, metal or a combination of both and also a number of styles – one large gate, 2 halves, swing, or sliding. It is also worth considering design and whether the gate is in keeping with styles nearby, compliments a period or contemporary property, and whether it fits in with the history of the property. Are you considering a new drive, railings, fence panels, or brickwork? If so, you have to plan the works in a certain order – groundworks, drainage, cable laying, piers, posts, and installation of gates last. Remember these are “your” gates and you will look at them a lot more than the manufacturers/installers so make sure you get the gates you want and not what some salesman would like you to have!

As someone else has already suggested, i'd opt for a nice gravel laid within a plastic honeycomb grid system to stablise it and keep it uniform. The whole construction should be subbase to avoid the need for planning permission and you can add a stone threshold detail across the width of the entrance from the road to provide an attractive approach and demark the driveway. I think your house is too rustic in appearance to suit tarmac and needs a softer more rural choice of materials to compliment the house, plus you have a large area so planting is crucial to maintain the balance between hard and soft landscaping.

You will be altering the appearance of the front elevation. Planners, and planning departments, have different interpretations of the rules. It would be prudent to procure some pictures of your proposed gates ,and discuss your ideas informally with the local area planner before incurring any expense. Say you want to tidy up the front ( bins etc ) and provide better security to the dwelling ( a planning consideration ) and sound them out. It should be ok but for a bit of time it saves the potential hassle if they have a local policy and you were to buy gates that were, for instance too high for their liking without planning permission. I have had 2 instances recently were locals have not liked someone's gates and have informed the planners who insisted on a planning application. Either way it should be ok eventually. Good luck.
