Driveway extensions and widening across the East Riding of Yorkshire
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.
Extending is part groundwork, part planning question. The new area is dug out and built up like any new drive. If it stays within your boundary and the existing dropped kerb still serves it, it is usually straightforward.
Typical projects we can quote for in Hull include overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive, adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage and swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put.
Prices in the East Riding of Yorkshire
Guide prices for the East Riding of Yorkshire are based on Yorkshire and the Humber rates, which are a little below the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
Driveway extensions and widening: £70–£110 per m².
As a guide, a 28 m² drive in the HU area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be around £1,950–£3,100, including VAT.
Planning in the East Riding of Yorkshire
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
Rainfall varies widely across Yorkshire, from the drier Vale of York to wetter Pennine towns, and cold snaps shorten the laying season at either end. Laying days in Hull are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
