Seaham: common questions

Do I need permission for car park surfacing in Seaham?

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.

Is the survey in Seaham free?

Yes for new surfacing such as drives, paths, private roads and car parks. Small repairs are often priced from photos; if a visit is needed for a repair-only job, we tell you any charge first.

How long does car park surfacing take in Seaham?

Often 1–2 weeks for a small car park, depending on drainage. We book Seaham surveys alongside other jobs in County Durham, and give you dates once the specification is agreed.
