Planning and kerb rules for Tonyrefail
In Wales, new front hardstanding should be porous or drain to a permeable area within the property, and work covering 100 m² or more with drainage effects usually needs SAB approval first. Any new or widened crossing over the pavement needs approval from the council as highway authority.
What the price covers
Full dig-out, compacted stone sub-base, binder course and a fine surface course, edged and drained.
- Dig to formation level, usually around 230–250 mm below finished height
- Geotextile membrane where the ground is soft or clay
- Concrete-haunched kerbs or a block-paved border as edge restraint
- 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
