Planning and kerb rules for Cricklewood

Repairs, paths and edging work rarely need planning permission. In England, householder permitted development (Class F of the 2015 General Permitted Development Order) lets you lay a hard surface in front of a house without planning permission if it is porous, or if the rainwater is directed to a permeable area within the property. If the area is more than 5 m² and neither applies, you need permission. Standard dense tarmac is not porous, so a dense tarmac drive needs a lawn, border, channel to a soakaway or other permeable route for its water.

What is included in a tarmac driveway repair?

Potholes, sunken patches, cracks and crumbling edges cut out square and re-laid hot.

Find the cause: water, root, soft base or missing edge
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
Joints sealed to stop water getting under the patch
