Planning and kerbs in Belper

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).

Typical prices in Belper

  • A 35 m² red tarmac drive works out at roughly £2,550–£3,950.
  • A 250 m² car park resurface (ex VAT) works out at roughly £4,900–£8,600.
  • Allow about £1,550–£2,500 for a 26 m² tarmac garden path.
