Planning and dropped kerbs
In England, a new or replaced hard surface of more than 5 m² in a front garden is permitted development only if it is porous, or if rainwater drains to a lawn, border or soakaway within the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
Permitted development rights apply to houses, not flats or maisonettes, and some conservation areas have Article 4 directions that remove them. Listed buildings can need consent if railings or historic walls are affected.
If cars will cross the pavement in a new place, or the crossing needs widening, consent is needed from your council as local highway authority before any kerb work.
Weather and working days
The South West gets more rain than the east of England, especially on higher ground, so permeability and falls matter on every drive.
Resin driveways in Dorset: questions
Is the price fixed for Dorset jobs?
Yes, once the scope and specification are agreed in writing. If hidden ground conditions turn up, we explain and agree any change with you before doing extra work.
Who approves dropped kerbs in Dorset?
Dropped kerb consent comes from your council as local highway authority. We help with the application and get your drive ready to meet the new crossing.
Can you lay resin in Dorset in winter?
On dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, yes. The South West gets more rain than the east of England, especially on higher ground, so permeability and falls matter on every drive.
