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.
In Hove, 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. Hove has a broad mix of housing, from terraces near the centre to detached homes on the edges.
Typical projects we can quote for in Hove include turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and widening a drive into the front garden for a second car. More about permeable SuDS driveways.
Prices for permeable SuDS driveways in Hove
Guide prices for Hove are based on South East rates, which are above the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
As a guide, a 64 m² drive in the BN3 area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be around £5,400–£8,600, including VAT.
| Service | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| Permeable SuDS driveways | £85–£135 per m² |
| Resin bonded driveways | £40–£110 per m² |
| Dropped kerb applications | about £1,000–£2,500 per crossing, set by the highway authority |

Planning in Hove
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 East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. Laying days in Hove 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.
