Henley-on-Thames carries an RG9 postcode rather than an OX one, but it is firmly a South Oxfordshire town. Its historic riverside centre is Georgian and Victorian, while the surrounding Chiltern-side streets climb noticeably — the two produce genuinely different driveway jobs, from level, constrained central plots to sloping approaches on the hillier edges.

## A conservation area with real weight

Henley's historic centre is a conservation area with a high concentration of listed buildings, which matters particularly for front boundary walls, gates, stonework and visible surfacing near the centre. This is a stricter check here than in most of the towns on this list.

## Sloping streets change the groundworks

On the Chiltern-facing side of town, sloping approaches affect excavation depth, edge restraint and drainage falls — a resin surface on a slope needs the sub-base and edging detailed differently to a flat drive, and that's a site-specific job, not a standard spec.

## The Thames defines the centre

Central and riverside streets can be tightly constrained by narrow roads, high parking demand and limited frontage. Flood-risk and drainage checks matter specifically near the river and on low-lying riverside land.

## Permeable surfacing and South Oxfordshire's planning rules

Paving over 5m² of front garden with an impermeable surface needs planning permission from South Oxfordshire District Council unless it's permeable or drains to a soakaway. Combined with the slope on one side of town and the river on the other, getting the drainage design right here is not optional.
