How it is built
Do I need permission in Milford Haven?
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 is included in a permeable tarmac driveway?
Open-graded porous asphalt on a deep permeable stone base, so rain soaks through on site.

- Dig out deeper than a standard drive to fit the storage layer
- Geotextile separating layer on the formation
- Open-graded permeable sub-base, often Type 3 or 4/20 stone
