Permeable SuDS driveways across the Isle of Wight
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 the Isle of Wight, the projects we price include widening a drive into the front garden for a second car, replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build and turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface.
Prices in the Isle of Wight
For the South East, where typical costs are above the UK average, these are the ranges we would expect before seeing your property.
Permeable SuDS driveways: £85–£135 per m².
As a guide, a 61 m² drive in the PO area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be around £5,100–£8,200, including VAT.
Planning in the Isle of Wight
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 South East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
