Planning and kerbs in Pencoed
In Wales, a new hard surface in front of a house is permitted development only if it is porous or drains to a permeable area within the property; repairing or replacing up to 5 m² of existing hardstanding is allowed without meeting that condition. Separately, since January 2019, construction covering 100 m² or more that affects drainage generally needs approval from the council's SuDS Approving Body (SAB) before work starts, even where planning permission is not needed. Larger drives, shared surfaces and car parks often reach that threshold. Dropped kerbs are approved by the council as highway authority.
Pencoed: questions
Can you resurface my drive in Pencoed instead of replacing it?
Often, if the base is sound. Resurfacing in Pencoed is typically £24–£43 per m² inc VAT.
Do you do commercial work in Pencoed?
Yes: small car parks, yards, private roads, repairs and lining, priced excluding VAT.
Do I need planning permission for a drive in Pencoed?
In Wales, new front hardstanding should be porous or drain to a permeable area within the property, and work covering 100 m² or more with drainage effects usually needs SAB approval first.
Is the survey in Pencoed free?
Yes, for new surfacing: drives, paths, private roads and car parks. Small repairs are often priced from photos; where a visit is needed for a repair-only job, we tell you any charge before booking. Remote areas are by arrangement.
