Your questions answered

What approvals apply in Swanley?

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 will the work take at my Swanley property?

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