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 resin job in Newport, Isle of Wight starts the same way: we check whether your existing surface is sound enough to overlay or needs digging out, because that decides both the price and how long the surface lasts. Around Newport, Isle of Wight, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
Typical projects we can quote for in Newport, Isle of Wight include turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build and framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts. More about driveway extensions and widening.

Planning in Newport, Isle of Wight
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.
