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 Ashington says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Homes in Ashington range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
In Ashington 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 Ashington
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 North East has cool winters, so resin is laid in the warmer months or on dry, mild days when ground and air are above about 5°C. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Northumberland, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
