What is included in 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.
- Dig to formation level, usually around 230–250 mm below finished height
- 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
- Falls set so water runs to a channel, gully or soft landscaping

How it is built
Do I need permission in Evesham?
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. If the job needs a dropped kerb, the highway authority (the county or unitary council) approves it before any work on the footway.
