Do I need permission in Cleckheaton?

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 permeable tarmac driveway

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?
  • 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
