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 Neath says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Homes in Neath range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Typical projects we can quote for in Neath include turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, widening a drive into the front garden for a second car and adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage. More about driveway extensions and widening.

Planning in Neath
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. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
