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 St Andrews, 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. Plots around St Andrews are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
In St Andrews we can price work such as framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts, replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build and widening a drive into the front garden for a second car. More about permeable SuDS driveways.

Planning in St Andrews
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.
General information for Scotland, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
Fife is fairly dry for Scotland, but frost and cold snaps mean resin is laid in suitable conditions only. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
How it works
