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 Brecon says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Plots around Brecon are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Across Powys, the projects we price include overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive, replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build and turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface. More about driveway extensions and widening.

Planning in Brecon
Wales has its own permitted development rules on the same principle: a front-garden hard surface should be porous or drain to a permeable area on the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
In Wales, new construction with drainage implications covering 100 m² or more can also need approval from the council's SuDS Approving Body (SAB). Most domestic drives are smaller than that, but larger drives and extensions are checked at survey.
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 Wales, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
Mid Wales is wet and hilly, so falls, drainage and access for materials are planned at survey. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Brecon jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
