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.

In Lincoln, as anywhere, the base is the part that decides how long a resin surface lasts. The survey settles whether we overlay, repair or rebuild it. Lincoln has a broad mix of housing, from terraces near the centre to detached homes on the edges.

Projects we quote in and around Lincoln include widening a drive into the front garden for a second car, building a fully permeable drive on a front garden and adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage. More about permeable SuDS driveways.

Planning in Lincoln

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. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Lincolnshire, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
