What is included?

Farm track surfacing puts a bound tarmac or tar and chip surface onto a rural track or lane, after the stone base has been regraded, strengthened and drained for the vehicles that use it.

  • Survey of the existing stone base and wet spots
  • Regrading and topping up with compacted stone
  • Side ditches, cross-drains or grips to shed water
  • Dense asphalt for heavy turning areas
  • Tar and chip option for long, straight runs
  • Passing places and gateway aprons

Rules in Kent

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.
