What is included?
Edging is the fixed restraint around the outside of block paving. Because the blocks are only held by friction and jointing sand, they need a firm edge on every side that is not against a wall, or they slowly move outwards, the joints open and the surface starts to dip.
Yorkshire has everything from stone-built terraces to large new estates, so block choice often follows the house: clay or tumbled blocks for older homes, crisp concrete for newer ones.
- Raised edges to beds and lawns
- Concrete haunching behind the edge
- Re-setting loose or missing edging on existing paving
- Steps and risers in block or kerb units
- New kerbs or soldier courses bedded on concrete
What the survey covers
- Buried services near the crossing or channel
- How the new work ties into the paving
- Levels of the pavement, kerb and drive
- Load ratings needed for covers and gratings
- Where water collects now and where it can go
Rules for front drives in East Riding of Yorkshire
In England, paving in front of the house that covers more than 5 m² needs planning permission unless it is permeable or drains to a lawn, border or soakaway inside your boundary. Permeable block paving, or standard blocks laid to fall onto a planted strip, avoid the need for permission in most cases.
Flats and maisonettes, listed buildings, and homes covered by an Article 4 direction can have tighter rules, and conservation areas, National Parks and National Landscapes restrict some permitted development.
A dropped kerb needs your local highway authority's approval (usually the county, unitary, metropolitan or London borough council), and a new access onto an A, B or C classified road also needs planning permission.
General guidance, not legal advice. Your survey confirms what applies to your home. See the planning guide.
