Rules that apply in Rugeley
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 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
- 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
