Tar planing track price

Hello, just wondering if anyone could help advise on usual £/m for tar planing track/driveway at all please? We have a track of approx 147m plus turning circle in v bad condition (large holes and rocks causing vehicles to bottom out) and have received a quote of around £12k to scrape level, cover with tar planings and compact down.
Many thanks!

"In my experience if it is more likely to do the same if that was done before I would use ground stabilisation witch churns up the track mixes lime and cement in compact then do your track yes moor expensive but you only do it once"

"Hmm this doesn’t sound to far off, to tarmac a drive is roughly about £50 a square meter so around £7500 ish. Break out the old and have taken away is a days labour including machinery would cost around £2000, so the quote is not a million miles off but can be cheaper."

"That quote sounds quite reasonable for the work needed on your track and driveway. The price of around £12k to scrape level, cover with tar planings, and compact down a track of approximately 147m with a turning circle in very bad condition seems fair considering the extent of the work required. It's essential to ensure the job is done properly to prevent any further issues with the track."
