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 East Grinstead we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Homes in East Grinstead range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Projects we quote in and around East Grinstead include building a fully permeable drive on a front garden, adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage and overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive. More about resin bonded driveways.

Planning in East Grinstead
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.

How it works
