Do I need permission in Rosyth?

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 the price covers

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
Dig out and replace failed sub-base, compact in layers
Hot binder and surface course laid flush and rolled
Joints sealed to stop water getting under the patch
Edge restraint replaced where the side has crumbled
