Surface course laid by paver where access allows
Speed humps and markings if wanted

Planning and kerb rules for Salford

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.
