Permeable SuDS driveways across Herefordshire
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.
Since 2008 in England, paving more than 5 m² of a front garden with a surface that sends water onto the road has needed planning permission. A fully permeable build avoids that, and it reduces the load on local drains in heavy rain.
Across Herefordshire, the projects we price include turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts.
Prices in Herefordshire
Labour and material costs in the West Midlands run close to the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.
Permeable SuDS driveways: £75–£120 per m².
As a guide, a 47 m² drive in the HR area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be around £3,500–£5,650, including VAT.
Planning in Herefordshire
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
The West Midlands is close to the UK average for rainfall, and much of the region sits on clay that holds water after wet spells. Laying days in Hereford are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
