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.
Any quote we prepare in Poole says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Plot sizes and existing surfaces vary a lot across Poole, so the survey comes before any fixed figure.
Projects we quote in and around Poole include building a fully permeable drive on a front garden, swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put and adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage. More about permeable SuDS driveways.
Prices for permeable SuDS driveways in Poole
For the South West, where typical costs are above the UK average, these are the ranges we would expect before seeing your property.
For a 25 m² drive in Poole, built with a dig-out and new permeable base, expect roughly £2,000–£3,200 including VAT before any drainage or kerb work.

| Resin over tarmac and concrete | £50–£75 per m² |

Planning in Poole
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.
