The paving was built for his wheelie bins as part of landscaping works at the front of his Victorian townhouse in Hampstead earlier this year.
However, Corden’s renovations received complaints from neighbours, who claimed the paving was impacting the conservation area.
The area has a special architectural or historic interest, making it part of the conservation area.
James Corden ordered to rip up paving at London mansion
The Telegraph has reported that following complaints, Camden Council has refused planning permission for the work and told Corden the paving is “out of character” with the area.
The council has told Corden that he has two months to remove the paving or he will face enforcement action.
Corden moved into the north London home last year with his wife, Julia Carey, and their three children.
A planning application was submitted to Camden Council after the work had been completed, which showed the paving slabs had been reused from his back garden, where trees had been planted.
As Corden’s home is in a conservation area, all properties must apply for planning permission for paving works to be approved.

In planning documents submitted to the council, one neighbour who has lived on the road for 40 years said: “Front gardens being paved over is bad for the environment.
“It is not good for wildlife in the area, and it reduces the enjoyment of residents who now look at barren areas instead of plants and flowers.”
The council’s Liberal Democrat group leader Cllr Tom Simon also objected to the plans, writing: “There is no valid justification for the loss of green space in this instance, so the application should be resisted.”
Corden’s planning agents added: “The works to the front garden in the form of relandscaping do not impact or diminish the positive contribution that the property makes to the special character and appearance of the area.”
