company called dyson - they have give me some adresses in stockport to look at there work

website here Block Paving in Cheshire - Manchester - Dyson's Driveways

tarmac and concrete is a no no for me also planning permission is a must for them so extra £150

block paved people will slope the drive so it flowes into my garden soil/grass so no need for PP

  • Preparation - Type 1 MOT hardcore base including crushed brick to the overall area, compacted and consolidated to a depth of at least 100 mm. Sand blinding to 50 mm over MOT.
  • All freestanding borders to be laid on a concrete bed as is the heddar course at the entrance to the drive.

you may get it cheaper but the council have to do it at their cost, so if the council were to find out you had the kerb lowered, they would charge you for putting it back, and then charge you again for lowering it (whether they physically do that I dont know but it happened round where I used to live)
