Birkenhead: common questions

How much does car park resurfacing cost in Birkenhead?

Are there planning or highway rules in Birkenhead?

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.
