Planning and kerb rules for Brough
In England, a new hard surface over 5 m² in front of a house needs planning permission unless it is porous or drains to a lawn, border or soakaway within the property. Any new or widened crossing over the pavement needs approval from the highway authority (the county or unitary council).
What we do on a new tarmac driveway
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
- 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
