What is included?
A permeable tarmac drive uses porous asphalt, a mix with fewer fine particles so water passes through the gaps, laid on an open-graded stone base that stores the rain and lets it soak into the ground.
- Ground check: how fast does the soil drain?
- Geotextile separating layer on the formation
- Open-graded permeable sub-base, often Type 3 or 4/20 stone
- Porous asphalt binder and surface courses
- Overflow to a soakaway or border on slow-draining ground
- Edge restraint that does not block the flow
Rules in West Yorkshire
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.
