Do I need permission in Clacton-on-Sea?
Householder permitted development covers houses only.

What is included in car park resurfacing?
Car park resurfacing renews the wearing surface of an existing car park: either an overlay, laying a new surface course on top after repairs and a bond coat, or plane and inlay, milling off the worn layer and replacing it at the same level.
- Condition survey: cores or trial holes where failure is suspected
- Failed areas cut out and rebuilt before surfacing
- Planing to remove worn surface or at tie-ins
- Bond coat sprayed on the prepared surface
- Lining and markings renewed
