What is included?

Private road surfacing is the construction or resurfacing of a road that the council does not maintain: shared drives, mews, unadopted estate roads and access roads to farms or business units.

  • Survey of the road, its edges and drainage
  • Option pricing: patch, overlay, inlay or rebuild
  • Sub-base and binder for new or rebuilt sections
  • Surface course laid by paver where access allows
  • Kerbs, channels and gullies
  • Speed humps and markings if wanted

Rules in Hampshire

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.
