Resin bonded driveways across Shropshire
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.
Because only one layer of stone is held, some stones will come loose over the first months and the surface is less forgiving of heavy turning. That is the trade-off for a lower price per square metre.
In Telford we can price work such as framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts, swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put and widening a drive into the front garden for a second car.
Prices in Shropshire
For the West Midlands, where typical costs are close to the UK average, these are the ranges we would expect before seeing your property.
Resin bonded driveways: £35–£100 per m².
Typical Shropshire figures for a 30 m² drive: £1,050–£1,650 over sound tarmac or concrete; £1,950–£3,000 with a dig-out and new base. Both include VAT.
Planning in Shropshire
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 West Midlands is close to the UK average for rainfall, and much of the region sits on clay that holds water after wet spells. Laying days in Telford are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
