Planning in Whitley Bay

In England, a new or replaced hard surface of more than 5 m² in a front garden is permitted development only if it is porous, or if rainwater drains to a lawn, border or soakaway within the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.

Permitted development rights apply to houses, not flats or maisonettes, and some conservation areas have Article 4 directions that remove them. Listed buildings can need consent if railings or historic walls are affected.

Weather and working days

The North East has cool winters, so resin is laid in the warmer months or on dry, mild days when ground and air are above about 5°C. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Whitley Bay jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
