Planning and kerb rules for Kippax

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. A vehicle crossing over the footway is a separate approval, from the highway authority (the county or unitary council).

What the price covers

Open-graded porous asphalt on a deep permeable stone base, so rain soaks through on site.

  • 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
  • Overflow to a soakaway or border on slow-draining ground
  • Edge restraint that does not block the flow
