Do I need permission in Blantyre?

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

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

Find the cause: water, root, soft base or missing edge
Saw-cut the damaged area square, back to sound tarmac
