Resin bonded driveways across Nottinghamshire
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.
The finish looks like a gravel drive but behaves more like a sealed surface. It has excellent grip, which is why it is used on ramps, steep drives and the approaches to junctions, but it is impermeable, so water has to be managed with falls and drainage.
In Nottingham we can price work such as framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts, building a fully permeable drive on a front garden and replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build.

Resin bonded driveways: £35–£100 per m².
Worked example: a 44 m² drive in Nottinghamshire laid as an overlay on sound tarmac or concrete would typically come to about £1,550–£2,400. The same area with a dig-out and new base would be nearer £2,850–£4,400.
Planning in Nottinghamshire
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.
Weather and working days
The East Midlands sits around the UK average for rainfall, with a mix of clay vales and lighter ground that changes what the base needs. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
