Permeable SuDS driveways across South Glamorgan
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.
Projects we quote in and around Cardiff include swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put, replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build and overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive.

Planning in South Glamorgan
Wales has its own permitted development rules on the same principle: a front-garden hard surface should be porous or drain to a permeable area on the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
In Wales, new construction with drainage implications covering 100 m² or more can also need approval from the council's SuDS Approving Body (SAB). Most domestic drives are smaller than that, but larger drives and extensions are checked at survey.
Weather and working days
South Wales is wetter than most of England, so a permeable build or a planned route for water is essential on every drive. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in South Glamorgan, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
