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 Farnborough says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Farnborough mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
In Farnborough we can price work such as widening a drive into the front garden for a second car, turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface and building a fully permeable drive on a front garden. More about driveway extensions and widening.

Planning in Farnborough
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 East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Farnborough jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
