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.
Before quoting in Ashford, Kent we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Homes in Ashford, Kent range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
In Ashford, Kent we can price work such as overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive, building a fully permeable drive on a front garden and turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface. More about driveway extensions and widening.

Planning in Ashford, Kent
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.
