What is included?
The edge can be a kerb, a row of blocks laid as a soldier course, or a block on its side, but in every case it should be bedded and haunched in concrete. We also re-set failed edging on older drives, which often stops further spreading without re-laying the whole area.
Wales is wetter than most of England, and new front paving has to be permeable or drain within the property, so drainage is designed in from the start.
- Concrete haunching behind the edge
- Re-setting loose or missing edging on existing paving
- Steps and risers in block or kerb units
- Raised edges to beds and lawns
- New kerbs or soldier courses bedded on concrete

Rules for front drives in Mid Glamorgan
In Wales, any new or replacement hard surface at the front of a house should be permeable or drain to a permeable area within the property to avoid needing planning permission. Unlike England, there is no 5 m² allowance for new paving; only repairs of up to 5 m² of existing surface are exempt.
Since January 2019, construction work covering 100 m² or more with drainage implications, including drives and patios, needs approval from the local SuDS Approving Body (SAB) before work starts, even where planning permission is not needed.
A dropped kerb needs your council's approval as highway authority, and a new access onto a classified road needs planning permission.
General guidance, not legal advice. Your survey confirms what applies to your home. See the planning guide.

Yes. We cover all of Mid Glamorgan, including Tonypandy, Bridgend and Merthyr Tydfil.

Yes, and it usually should be, so the levels match and the paving is only disturbed once.

For a dropped kerb, your council as highway authority. For drainage and covers on private land, no approval is usually needed, but connections to public sewers need the water company's consent.
