I've got an area of grass that I'd like taken up and then tarmac'd so I can create a second parking space. The area is about 12m sqd. Rough idea of what is reasonable before I start getting quotes?

Have you got planning permission

Usually a permitted development isn’t it?

I think around here you need permission replacing soft landscape with hard, and to extend drop kerb if that's needed.

Give Yosser and the lads a shout. They'll sort it for a good price.

Don't think Sunderland council enforce it, was told (not certain) because Sunderland don't have a problem with flooding.

Probably cheaper using stabiliser and gravel and the water is going where it should.

More about discharging into any drainage system unless it's a soakaway.
If you're taking up permeable land and replacing it with impermeable which doesn't drain into a permeable drain (soakaway) you need to apply for permission. It's to prevent the ever increasing flood risks.

Taken from your link
"One of the main reasons for the new legislation is that the conversion of gardens to driveways in urban areas has increased the amount of water that goes into the storm drains when it rains, and this has contributed to the increase in flooding."

You can say that again.

Exactly.
Use permeable paving so the rainwater landing on the new drive soaks into the ground then you're fine and don't need to apply.

Increased risk of localised flooding can occur if the drainage isn’t right

The daft thing is the permeable block paving soon blocks up and doesn't work very well, you can of course get more than just block paving.
