What permeable SuDS driveways involve
A permeable SuDS driveway is built so rainwater soaks through every layer into the ground below, instead of running off onto the road. SuDS stands for sustainable drainage systems. With resin bound, that means a permeable surface on a porous binder course over an open-graded stone sub-base.
Before quoting in Exmouth we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Exmouth mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
In Exmouth we can price work such as widening a drive into the front garden for a second car, replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build and turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface. More about permeable SuDS driveways.
Prices for permeable SuDS driveways in Exmouth

Planning in Exmouth
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 South West gets more rain than the east of England, especially on higher ground, so permeability and falls matter on every drive. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
How it works
You start with a guide price, we visit to measure and check the site, you get a written quote, and we book the work for suitable weather.
