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 Chatham says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Drives in Chatham range from single-car frontages to wide plots, which is why every price follows a measured survey.
In Chatham we can price work such as 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 Chatham
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. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Chatham jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
