Permeable SuDS driveways across Leicestershire
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.
On clay or very slow-draining ground the sub-base acts as a storage layer, holding water and releasing it slowly, sometimes with an overflow to a soakaway. That is decided on survey.
Across Leicestershire, the projects we price include overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive, framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts and turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface.
Prices in Leicestershire
Guide prices for Leicestershire are based on East Midlands rates, which are close to the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
Permeable SuDS driveways: £75–£120 per m².
As a guide, a 72 m² drive in the LE area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be around £5,400–£8,650, including VAT.
Planning in Leicestershire
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 Midlands sits around the UK average for rainfall, with a mix of clay vales and lighter ground that changes what the base needs. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
