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 Eastwood we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. In and around Eastwood, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
In Eastwood we can price work such as framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts, replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build and swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put. More about driveway extensions and widening.
Prices for driveway extensions and widening in Eastwood
Guide prices for Eastwood are based on East Midlands rates, which are close to the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
As a guide, a 49 m² drive in the NG16 area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be around £3,700–£5,900, including VAT.

| Driveway extensions and widening | £75–£120 per m² |
| Resin bonded driveways | £35–£100 per m² |
| New resin driveways (full dig-out) | £75–£120 per m² |

Planning in Eastwood
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 Eastwood jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
