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.
Any quote we prepare in Melksham says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. In and around Melksham, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
In Melksham we can price work such as turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put and adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage. More about resin bonded driveways.

Planning in Melksham
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.
General information for England, not legal advice.
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 Melksham are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
