Permeable pavements should be located down-gradient from building foundations. If the pavement does not receive drainage from other surfaces, no setback is required. If the pavement receives drainage from other surfaces a minimum setback of four metres down-gradient is recommended. A smaller setback may be permissible where foundations are protected by a geomembrane.

The use of permeable pavement on highway shoulders has been found to be technically feasible and can be cost-effective when compared to conventional practices.<ref> Weiss, P., Kayhanian, M., Gulliver, J.S., Khazanovich, L. 2019.
