Rules in Sandbach
In England, householder permitted development (Class F of the 2015 General Permitted Development Order) lets you lay a hard surface in front of a house without planning permission if it is porous, or if the rainwater is directed to a permeable area within the property. If the area is more than 5 m² and neither applies, you need permission. Standard dense tarmac is not porous, so a dense tarmac drive needs a lawn, border, channel to a soakaway or other permeable route for its water. Dropped kerbs are approved by the highway authority (the county or unitary council).
Sandbach: questions
Can you resurface my drive in Sandbach instead of replacing it?

How much is a tarmac drive in Sandbach?
As a 2026 guide, about £58–£92 per m² inc VAT; a 50 m² drive is roughly £2,900–£4,600 before edging and drainage.
Is the survey in Sandbach free?

Do I need planning permission for a drive in Sandbach?
