Resin bonded driveways across Wiltshire
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.
Resin bonded is the scatter-coat system. The resin is rolled onto a solid, sound base, the aggregate is broadcast over it until it is fully covered, and once the resin has cured the excess stone is brushed off and reused.
In Swindon we can price work such as building a fully permeable drive on a front garden, turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface and replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build.

Resin bonded driveways: £35–£105 per m².
Worked example: a 72 m² drive in Wiltshire laid as an overlay on sound tarmac or concrete would typically come to about £2,700–£4,250. The same area with a dig-out and new base would be nearer £5,000–£7,700.
Planning in Wiltshire
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 South West gets more rain than the east of England, especially on higher ground, so permeability and falls matter on every drive. Laying days in Swindon are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.

Do I need planning permission in Wiltshire?
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.
Can you match a resin colour I have seen in Wiltshire?
Often, yes. Tell us where you saw it or show us a photo, and we will bring the closest blends to the survey to compare in daylight.
Can you lay resin in Wiltshire in winter?
On dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, yes. The South West gets more rain than the east of England, especially on higher ground, so permeability and falls matter on every drive.
