Permeable paving can be used for entire parking lot areas or driveways and can be designed to receive runoff from adjacent impervious surfaces. For example, the parking spaces in a parking lot may be permeable pavers while the drive lanes themselves are impervious asphalt. In general, the impervious area should not exceed the area of the permeable paving which receives the runoff.

A hybrid permeable paving/[[infiltration chambers|infiltration chamber]] design can feature connection of a roof [[downspout]] directly to the stone reservoir of the permeable paving system, which is sized to store runoff from both the pavement surface and the roof drainage area.

*Stormwater infiltration practices should not receive runoff from high traffic areas where large amounts of de-icing salts are applied (e.g., busy highways), nor from pollution hot spots (e.g., source areas where land uses or activities have the potential to generate highly contaminated runoff such as vehicle fuelling, servicing or demolition areas, outdoor storage or handling areas for hazardous materials and some heavy industry sites)

*Prioritize infiltration of runoff from source areas that are comparatively less contaminated such as roofs, low traffic roads and parking areas

Permeable paving is not typically used in locations subject to heavy loads. However, some permeable pavers are designed for heavy loads and have been used in commercial port loading and storage areas.

Consult the manufacturer for the design specifications of their product. In pervious concrete and porous asphalt systems, the concrete or asphalt mix specifications and construction procedures are key to proper functioning. These systems require well-trained and experienced contractors for installation.

===Foundation aggregates===
[[File:Geogitter-4.jpg|thumb|Geogrids like these are sometimes incorporated into the layers of permeable pavement foundation aggregates to provide additional stability]]
Most [[OPSS aggregates]] are not recommended for use in permeable paving systems. The exception being type 'o' with a default void ratio of 0.3.
*[[Choker layer]]
*[[Reservoir aggregate]]
===Geotextile===
[[Geotextiles]] are not always necessary and may be prone to [[clogging]]. Consider using courses of finer aggregates or sand instead.

Urban [[trees]] benefit from being surrounded by permeable pavement rather than impervious cover, because their roots receive more air and water. Block pavers around the base of a tree can be removed as the tree grows.
