Questions about private road surfacing jobs in Nailsea

How much does private road surfacing cost in Nailsea?

Do I need permission for private road surfacing in Nailsea?

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.
