What new resin driveways (full dig-out) involves
A new resin driveway starts from the ground up: the old surface and soft ground are dug out and taken away, a compacted stone sub-base and a binder course (usually porous asphalt or concrete) are laid, and the resin bound surface goes on top.
In Bideford, as anywhere, the base is the part that decides how long a resin surface lasts. The survey settles whether we overlay, repair or rebuild it. Bideford mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Across Devon, the projects we price include adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage, swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put and overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive. More about new resin driveways (full dig-out).

Planning in Bideford
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.

Weather and working days
The South West gets more rain than the east of England, especially on higher ground, so permeability and falls matter on every drive. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Devon, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
