How quickly can work start in Sudbury?

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

Do I need permission for private road surfacing in Sudbury?

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.
