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 Bury St Edmunds, 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. Many homes in Bury St Edmunds have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Typical projects we can quote for in Bury St Edmunds include turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, 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 Bury St Edmunds
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. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Bury St Edmunds jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
