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 Currie we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Around Currie, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
Across Edinburgh, the projects we price include building a fully permeable drive on a front garden, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build. More about permeable SuDS driveways.
Prices for permeable SuDS driveways in Currie
Labour and material costs in Lothian run a little below the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.
As a guide, a 42 m² drive in the EH14 area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be around £2,900–£4,650, including VAT.
| Service | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| Permeable SuDS driveways | £70–£110 per m² |
| Resin over tarmac and concrete | £40–£65 per m² |
| Resin garden paths | £45–£130 per m² |

Planning in Currie
Scotland's householder permitted development rules allow many hard surfaces at a house where the surface is porous or water drains to a permeable area within the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
Flats, listed buildings and conservation areas are treated differently, so if any of those apply we suggest a quick check with your council's planning team before work starts.

Weather and working days
Lothian is one of the drier parts of Scotland, but cold winters and frost make a well-drained, frost-resistant base important. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
