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 Portslade we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. In and around Portslade, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
In Portslade we can price work such as framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts, widening a drive into the front garden for a second car and replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build. More about resin bonded driveways.

Planning in Portslade
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 East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in East Sussex, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
