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.
In Llanelli, as anywhere, the base is the part that decides how long a resin surface lasts. The survey settles whether we overlay, repair or rebuild it. Llanelli mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
In Llanelli we can price work such as framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts, replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build and turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface. More about driveway extensions and widening.

Planning in Llanelli
Wales has its own permitted development rules on the same principle: a front-garden hard surface should be porous or drain to a permeable area on the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
In Wales, new construction with drainage implications covering 100 m² or more can also need approval from the council's SuDS Approving Body (SAB). Most domestic drives are smaller than that, but larger drives and extensions are checked at survey.
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 Wales, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
West Wales has a mild but wet climate, which makes drainage the first question on any resin job. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Llanelli jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
