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 Gorseinon we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Around Gorseinon, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
Typical projects we can quote for in Gorseinon include adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage, framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts and replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build. More about driveway extensions and widening.

Planning in Gorseinon
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. Laying days in Gorseinon are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
How it works
