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 Llandrindod Wells says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Around Llandrindod Wells, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
Across Powys, the projects we price include swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put, turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface and replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build. More about driveway extensions and widening.

Planning in Llandrindod Wells
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. Laying days in Llandrindod Wells are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
