  • Kerbs, blocks or setts bedded on concrete
  • Concrete haunch on the back of the edge
  • Tarmac finished tight to the edge

Repairs, paths and edging work rarely need planning permission. In Scotland, a hard surface between the house and a road is permitted development only if it is porous or drains to a porous area within the property, whatever its size.
