Driveway extensions and widening across Norfolk
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.
Resurfacing the old and new areas together in one resin bound pour avoids a visible join and gives you one even colour across the whole drive.
Typical projects we can quote for in Norwich include building a fully permeable drive on a front garden, widening a drive into the front garden for a second car and overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive.
Prices in Norfolk
Labour and material costs in the East of England run above the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.
Driveway extensions and widening: £80–£130 per m².
For a 53 m² drive in Norfolk, built with a dig-out and new permeable base, expect roughly £4,300–£6,850 including VAT before any drainage or kerb work.
Planning in Norfolk
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.
Weather and working days
The East of England is the driest part of the UK, which gives a long resin laying season, though heavy clays in places mean the sub-base needs designing for slow drainage. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Norfolk, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
