Are there planning or highway rules in Southport?

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.

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