How it is built
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
Planning and kerb rules for Stowmarket
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.
