Your questions answered

How long will the work take at my Lichfield property?

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

Do I need permission for private road surfacing in Lichfield?

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.
