[Johny Walker]

you cant use virgin waste it must 1,st be recycled or it can be classed as fly tipping or unlawfull tipping ,you start dropping big lumps of concrete,flags etc trouble ahoy

terram comes in various thinknesses ie 100, 200, 2000 ect and both black and white

 

i buy in autoway 120 membrane for about £210 for 100 x 4.5 metres. youd be best to just call about and see what you can get just makesure its think and stronge.

any road will need planning,

 

Thats not true.

 

As long as its a forestry road (access way) then you do not need planning, you do not need a determination, what you need is to give prior notice. If they have not replied within 28 days then you can go ahead & do it.

 

 

Roughly that 30 tonnes will do an 80mm cover on that 4m x 30m track. Or less if there is more fines in it.

steve, be a bit careful here, any road will need planning, if your out the way of people who like to complain then you may get away with it, if its land you will be on for along time then try & get some big hardcore down deep before moving on to crushed stone, im unsure of your exact area but theres a skip firm south of nutley, just before maresfield bypass that should be able to supply you with some big stuff, failing that send me a mssg, i work for several skip firms a bit further up the a22, the ground is very wet too be doing any thing with at the mo but terram and small stone will work out very expensive, dont go paying much for bulky hardcore, you may be asked to cover the haulage thats all thou!! feel free to shout if you need any help, cheers

 

Just trying to sort out the planning/change of use,loads of fun! - it's not really an access road,more of a yard in itself

Nutley is not far,will give A&M a call,but suspect that I might run into trouble as Woodpicker said about the recycled stuff if the planning dept. arn't happy about it.

 

Thanks

Steve

Pull out the wet slop back to solid ground, infill with large brick/concrete rubble, top it off with type 1 material/ crushed stone/ brick / planings. If you put a good thick base layer in I wouldnt even bother with terram. If you go down the recycled material route it will work out alot cheaper. Just make sure its clean though, no wood, nails rebar etc. Else it works out expensive on your tyres:thumbup1:
