How it is built
Planning and kerb rules for Stevenston
Repairs, paths and edging work rarely need planning permission. In Scotland, permitted development allows a hard surface between a house and a road only if it is porous or the water drains to a porous area within the property. Unlike England there is no 5 m² allowance, so it applies to any size. Conservation areas and the grounds of listed buildings have extra restrictions. The council, as roads authority, controls any new or widened access across a footway.
What we do on a tarmac driveway repair
A proper tarmac repair cuts out the damaged area in a neat square, digs out any failed stone beneath, rebuilds and compacts the base, bonds the edges and lays new hot tarmac flush with the drive.
- Find the cause: water, root, soft base or missing edge
- Saw-cut the damaged area square, back to sound tarmac
- Dig out and replace failed sub-base, compact in layers
- Bond coat to the cut faces and base
- Hot binder and surface course laid flush and rolled
