I fancy doing some paving at the back of our house to replace some
poorly laid concrete.

Note the above - the drive is not being done.

Whether its the drive is not the relevant bit. Any impermeable hard
standing counts, regardless of if its a drive, patio, tennis court etc.

See:

extract:
"Please note: different rules apply to paving over your front garden.

Elsewhere around your house there are no restrictions on the area of land
which you can cover with hard surfaces at, or near, ground level.

However, significant works of embanking or terracing to support a hard
surface might need a planning application.

If you live in a listed building, you will need listed building consent
for any significant works whether internal or external.

Please note: The permitted development allowances described here apply to
houses and not to:

Flats and maisonettes (view our guidance on flats and maisonettes)
Converted houses or houses created through the permitted development
rights to change use (as detailed in our change of use section)
Other buildings
Areas where there may be a planning condition, Article 4 Direction or
other restriction that limits permitted development rights.

Also note that these rules only cover your Patio/Driveway."
