What is included?

Edge restraint is a solid line of kerbs, blocks or setts bedded and haunched in concrete along the sides of a tarmac surface, so the material cannot spread sideways or break away when wheels run near the edge.

  • Line and level set out
  • Trench dug for the kerb and its concrete bed
  • Kerbs, blocks or setts bedded on concrete
  • Concrete haunch on the back of the edge
  • Tarmac finished tight to the edge
  • Drop kerbs or flush details at gates and lawns

Rules in the East Riding of Yorkshire

Repairs, paths and edging work rarely need planning permission. In England, householder permitted development (Class F of the 2015 General Permitted Development Order) lets you lay a hard surface in front of a house without planning permission if it is porous, or if the rainwater is directed to a permeable area within the property. If the area is more than 5 m² and neither applies, you need permission. Standard dense tarmac is not porous, so a dense tarmac drive needs a lawn, border, channel to a soakaway or other permeable route for its water.
