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 Weston-super-Mare says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Drives in Weston-super-Mare range from single-car frontages to wide plots, which is why every price follows a measured survey.
Typical projects we can quote for in Weston-super-Mare include swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put, adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage and replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build. More about driveway extensions and widening.

Planning in Weston-super-Mare
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 South West gets more rain than the east of England, especially on higher ground, so permeability and falls matter on every drive. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Weston-super-Mare jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
