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 Gelligaer says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. In and around Gelligaer, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Across Gwent, the projects we price include adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage, widening a drive into the front garden for a second car and overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive. More about permeable SuDS driveways.

Planning in Gelligaer
Wales has its own permitted development rules on the same principle: a front-garden hard surface should be porous or drain to a permeable area on the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
In Wales, new construction with drainage implications covering 100 m² or more can also need approval from the council's SuDS Approving Body (SAB). Most domestic drives are smaller than that, but larger drives and extensions are checked at survey.
General information for Wales, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
South Wales is wetter than most of England, so a permeable build or a planned route for water is essential on every drive. Laying days in Gelligaer are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
