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 Norwich says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Drives in Norwich range from single-car frontages to wide plots, which is why every price follows a measured survey.
Projects we quote in and around Norwich include turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put. More about new resin driveways (full dig-out).

Planning in Norwich
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 East of England is the driest part of the UK, which gives a long resin laying season, though heavy clays in places mean the sub-base needs designing for slow drainage. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Norfolk, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
