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 Greenwich we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Many homes in Greenwich have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Typical projects we can quote for in Greenwich include replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build, swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put and framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts. More about permeable SuDS driveways.
Prices for permeable SuDS driveways in Greenwich
Labour and material costs in London run well above the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.
As a guide, a 60 m² drive in the SE3 area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be around £5,400–£8,650, including VAT.
| Service | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| Permeable SuDS driveways | £90–£145 per m² |
| Resin garden paths | £60–£170 per m² |
| Resin driveway cleaning | £95–£240 per visit |

Planning in Greenwich
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.

Weather and working days
London is one of the drier parts of the UK, but heavy summer downpours on small, mostly paved plots are exactly what front-garden drainage rules were written for. 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.
