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 Shirley says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Many homes in Shirley have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Projects we quote in and around Shirley include widening a drive into the front garden for a second car, turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface and adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage. More about permeable SuDS driveways.

Planning in Shirley
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
