What is included?
A front garden conversion turns lawn or planting into a parking space: the ground is excavated, a stone sub-base laid, tarmac surfaced on top, and a lowered kerb arranged so a car can cross the pavement legally.
- Check the space: length, width and gate posts for a car
- Highway authority dropped kerb application guided or handled for you
- Sub-base and two tarmac courses, or porous asphalt
- Kerbs or blocks as edge restraint
- Water directed to a border, soakaway or channel
- A planted strip kept where it helps drainage and looks
Rules in County Tyrone
In Northern Ireland, the Planning (General Permitted Development) Order (Northern Ireland) 2015 allows a hard surface between the front of a house and a road without permission if it is porous or drains to a porous area within the property, once it exceeds 5 m². Listed buildings and some access changes need permission. Any new or altered vehicle access onto a public road needs approval from DfI Roads, not the council.
