How quickly can work start in Maldon?

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

Are there planning or highway rules in Maldon?

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.
