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 West Glamorgan

Repairs, paths and edging work rarely need planning permission. In Wales, new front hardstanding should be porous or drain to a permeable area within the property, and work covering 100 m² or more with drainage effects usually needs SAB approval first.
