Royston: common questions

Do I need permission for car park surfacing in Royston?

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.

How long does car park surfacing take in Royston?

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