Permeable SuDS driveways across Norfolk
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 Norfolk, the projects we price include widening a drive into the front garden for a second car, swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put and overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive.
Prices in Norfolk
Guide prices for Norfolk are based on East of England rates, which are above the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
Permeable SuDS driveways: £80–£130 per m².
As a guide, a 47 m² drive in the NR area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be around £3,800–£6,100, including VAT.
Planning in Norfolk
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 of England is the driest part of the UK, which gives a long resin laying season, though heavy clays in places mean the sub-base needs designing for slow drainage. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Norwich jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
