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 Arnold we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Arnold mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.

Across Nottinghamshire, the projects we price include framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts, widening a drive into the front garden for a second car and building a fully permeable drive on a front garden. More about resin bonded driveways.

Planning in Arnold

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. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Nottinghamshire, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
