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 Briton Ferry we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Briton Ferry mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Projects we quote in and around Briton Ferry include building a fully permeable drive on a front garden, widening a drive into the front garden for a second car and framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts. More about driveway extensions and widening.

Planning in Briton Ferry
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
South Wales is wetter than most of England, so a permeable build or a planned route for water is essential on every drive. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Briton Ferry jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
