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 Bournemouth we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Drives in Bournemouth range from single-car frontages to wide plots, which is why every price follows a measured survey.
Typical projects we can quote for in Bournemouth include overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive, replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build and adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage. More about permeable SuDS driveways.
Prices for permeable SuDS driveways in Bournemouth
Guide prices for Bournemouth are based on South West rates, which are above the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
As a guide, a 71 m² drive in the BH2 area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be around £5,700–£9,100, including VAT.
| Service | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| Permeable SuDS driveways | £80–£130 per m² |
| Driveway drainage and soakaways | £55–£120 per linear metre |
| Resin over tarmac and concrete | £50–£75 per m² |

Planning in Bournemouth
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. Laying days in Bournemouth are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
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.
