What driveway extensions and widening involves
A driveway extension adds new hard-standing to an existing drive, usually by taking in part of the front garden, so more cars can park off the road. The new area needs its own excavation and base, and the whole drive is often resurfaced in resin so old and new match.
Any quote we prepare in Camborne says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Around Camborne, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
Typical projects we can quote for in Camborne include swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts. More about driveway extensions and widening.

Planning in Camborne
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.
General information for England, not legal advice.
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. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
