Luton: common questions

Do I need permission for private road surfacing in Luton?

Householder permitted development covers houses only. Car parks, yards, flats and business premises follow normal planning rules: resurfacing an existing area on the same footprint is generally fine, while a new car park, a change of use or new drainage may need permission. Check with the planning authority before any new hard area.

Is the survey in Luton free?

Yes for new surfacing such as drives, paths, private roads and car parks. Small repairs are often priced from photos; if a visit is needed for a repair-only job, we tell you any charge first.

How quickly can work start in Luton?

Usually days rather than weeks; phased to keep access. We book Luton surveys alongside other jobs in Bedfordshire, and give you dates once the specification is agreed.
