How it is built

Litherland: common questions

Do I need permission for private road surfacing in Litherland?

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.

How long does private road surfacing take in Litherland?

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

Can I get a free survey in Litherland?

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.
