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 Oadby we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Plots around Oadby are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Typical projects we can quote for in Oadby include turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, widening a drive into the front garden for a second car and overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive. More about driveway extensions and widening.

Planning in Oadby
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 East Midlands sits around the UK average for rainfall, with a mix of clay vales and lighter ground that changes what the base needs. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Oadby jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
