I doubt it if it's already paved and you are adding planting. We did the same thing last year.
It's law to add a soakaway these days to prevent runoff if water can't drain into the bedding.

Cheers.
I guess the contractor will also be able to give us a steer, but just wanted to have a bit more info.
We'll still be keeping a bed that water can drain into, half of it'll just be much narrower than before. But equally as the area is sloped the locations we're adding extra bedding won't be the end points(?) for any runoff.

Looking at doing our front drive/garden.
One of the tile companies my OH spoke to said we might need planning permission. Is this a thing? If so how onerous is it? And how likely is it to be enforced?
Almost the whole of our front is paved with a L-shaped bed in one corner. The plan would be to reduce the size of the L and add some plants in other parts.
Cheers.
