How long does a tarmac driveway take to lay in The Birches?

Most residential tarmac driveways in The Birches are completed inside two to four working days from excavation through to the finished roll. Weather is the main variable — hot tarmac needs dry conditions to go down well. Your tarmac driveway contractor will schedule around settled weather windows and confirm an installation date at quote stage.

Do I need planning permission for a new tarmac drive in The Birches?

Within The Birches (SS6), planning permission for tarmac is generally unnecessary provided you include drainage to a permeable area, soakaway or ACO channel.
