Restore small tarmac area?

I'm not sure that a restriction would be any greater than "don't build on it". Any surface can be lifted and restored. Some are just a bit more expensive to restore. Of course if it's a manhole or inspection chamber then it would be foolish to make that inaccessible.

A few years ago I dug a hole in a drive, I put the old tarmac in the oven for an hour and then relaid it around the post I put in. Its been there for a couple of decades now.

IIUC that's what scalpings are.

I've seen or rather felt and rattled some drive wide metal grills at the edge orf properties or drives, but the question is who's job is keeping the weeds away from such things I wonder? Brian

I d Scalpings Scalpings are, correctly, the off-cuts or shards created by dressing stone for building work, ie, a quarry waste.

Do you, perhaps, mean something like "planings" - from preparation of tarmac surfaces for relaying?

Similar with us. The last metre up to the road (no pavement) is ours but we must ensure access to services which run underneath.
