What approvals apply in Whitstable?

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 Whitstable property?

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

Is the survey in Whitstable 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.
