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 Worcestershire
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.
