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 Halifax says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Halifax has a broad mix of housing, from terraces near the centre to detached homes on the edges.
Typical projects we can quote for in Halifax include overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive, turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface and widening a drive into the front garden for a second car. More about driveway extensions and widening.

Planning in Halifax
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.
General information for England, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
Rainfall varies widely across Yorkshire, from the drier Vale of York to wetter Pennine towns, and cold snaps shorten the laying season at either end. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
