Planning and kerb rules for Tamworth

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.

What the price covers

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.
