Approvals in Nailsea
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).

Nailsea: questions
Do I need planning permission for a drive in Nailsea?
In England, a new hard surface over 5 m² in front of a house needs planning permission unless it is porous or drains to a lawn, border or soakaway within the property.
Do you do commercial work in Nailsea?
Yes: small car parks, yards, private roads, repairs and lining, priced excluding VAT.
Is the survey in Nailsea 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.
Can you resurface my drive in Nailsea instead of replacing it?
Often, if the base is sound. Resurfacing in Nailsea is typically £26–£46 per m² inc VAT.
