What is included?
A new tarmac driveway is built from the ground up: the old surface and soil are dug out, a compacted stone sub-base is laid, then a hot binder course and a finer surface course are spread and rolled, and the edges are held by kerbs or blocks.
- Break out and remove the old surface and spoil
- Geotextile membrane where the ground is soft or clay
- MOT Type 1 sub-base laid and compacted in layers, about 150 mm
- Binder course (AC 20 dense), about 50–60 mm, laid hot and rolled
- Surface course (AC 6 dense), about 20–30 mm, laid hot and rolled
- Falls set so water runs to a channel, gully or soft landscaping
Rules in the East Riding of Yorkshire
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. If the job needs a dropped kerb, the highway authority (the county or unitary council) approves it before any work on the footway.
