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 Bedworth we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Homes in Bedworth range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
In Bedworth we can price work such as adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and building a fully permeable drive on a front garden. More about driveway extensions and widening.

Planning in Bedworth
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 West Midlands is close to the UK average for rainfall, and much of the region sits on clay that holds water after wet spells. Laying days in Bedworth are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
