What we do on car park resurfacing

Failed areas cut out and rebuilt before surfacing
Planing to remove worn surface or at tie-ins
New surface course, typically 40 mm, laid by paver and rolled
Ironwork raised to the new level
Lining and markings renewed

Planning and kerb rules for Canvey Island

Householder permitted development covers houses only. Car parks, yards, flats and business premises follow normal planning rules: resurfacing an existing area on the same footprint is generally fine, while a new car park, a change of use or new drainage may need permission. Check with the planning authority before any new hard area.
