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 Gillingham says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Drives in Gillingham range from single-car frontages to wide plots, which is why every price follows a measured survey.
Typical projects we can quote for in Gillingham include building a fully permeable drive on a front garden, widening a drive into the front garden for a second car and replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build. More about permeable SuDS driveways.

Planning in Gillingham
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.
General information for England, not legal advice.
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. Laying days in Gillingham are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
