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 Lytham St Annes says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Lytham St Annes mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
In Lytham St Annes we can price work such as overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive, building a fully permeable drive on a front garden and adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage. More about driveway extensions and widening.

Planning in Lytham St Annes
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 North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so laying days are picked carefully and drainage under the drive gets extra attention. Laying days in Lytham St Annes are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
How it works
