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.
Any quote we prepare in Nelson says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Homes in Nelson range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Typical projects we can quote for in Nelson include framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts, swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put and building a fully permeable drive on a front garden. More about new resin driveways (full dig-out).

Planning in Nelson
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.
General information for England, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
The North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so laying days are picked carefully and drainage under the drive gets extra attention. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Nelson jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
