What resin bonded driveways involve
A resin bonded driveway is a solid base coated with a layer of resin onto which loose aggregate is scattered. The stones stick to the resin, giving a textured, gravel-like finish that is grippy underfoot. Unlike resin bound, it is not permeable.
Before quoting in Exmouth we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Many homes in Exmouth have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Projects we quote in and around Exmouth include adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage, building a fully permeable drive on a front garden and widening a drive into the front garden for a second car. More about resin bonded driveways.

Planning in Exmouth
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. Resin bonded is not permeable, so on a front garden it needs to drain to a permeable area within your property.
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.
General information for England, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
The South West gets more rain than the east of England, especially on higher ground, so permeability and falls matter on every drive. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Exmouth jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
