Permeable SuDS driveways across Hertfordshire
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.
The surface alone is not enough. A permeable resin layer laid over sealed concrete or old tarmac still sheds water. The whole build has to let water through, or the drive has to be designed to drain to a lawn, border or soakaway on your own land.
Across Hertfordshire, the projects we price include widening a drive into the front garden for a second car, building a fully permeable drive on a front garden and framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts.
Prices in Hertfordshire
For the East of England, where typical costs are above the UK average, these are the ranges we would expect before seeing your property.
Permeable SuDS driveways: £80–£130 per m².
As a guide, a 29 m² drive in the SG area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be around £2,350–£3,750, including VAT.
Planning in Hertfordshire
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 East of England is the driest part of the UK, which gives a long resin laying season, though heavy clays in places mean the sub-base needs designing for slow drainage. Laying days in Watford are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
