And dont forget that all new or replacement drives over 9m² in area requiring planning permission (note most contractors will 'overlook' this little legal matter!)

Not that I'm planning on doing so yet, but if I were to replace my (and my neighbour's) tarmac drive with another tarmac one, as its shagged, I'd need planning? It would be the same size, same place, same materials?

Yep.....unless you can impliment a SUDS system

Really even for a replacement like for like?

when did that come out

Yes, and it looks to be for 5m² and not 9.

SUDS is the key
