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 Daventry we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Many homes in Daventry have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
In Daventry we can price work such as overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive, swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put and framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts. More about driveway extensions and widening.

Planning in Daventry
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. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Northamptonshire, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
How it works
The steps are simple: guide price, free survey, written quote with a fixed price once the specification is agreed, then a date that suits you and the weather.
