Resin bound driveways across County Londonderry
A resin bound driveway is a surface of natural stone aggregate mixed with clear polyurethane resin and trowelled by hand to a depth of around 18 mm on driveways. Every stone is fully coated, so the finish is smooth, has no loose gravel, and lets rainwater drain straight through it.
Because the stones are bound together rather than stuck on top, the surface is porous. Laid over a permeable base, water passes through it rather than running off onto the road, which is why resin bound can usually be laid across a front garden without planning permission in England.
Typical projects we can quote for in Derry include framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build.

Resin bound driveways: £40–£105 per m².
As a guide, a 53 m² drive in the BT area would be around £2,100–£3,250 laid over a sound existing base, rising to about £3,500–£5,600 with a dig-out and new permeable base.
Planning in County Londonderry
Northern Ireland has its own permitted development order for houses, with conditions on hard surfaces and drainage: the simplest route is a surface that keeps rainwater within your boundary. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
Flats, listed buildings and conservation areas are treated differently, so if any of those apply it is worth checking with your council's planning team before work starts.
Weather and working days
Northern Ireland has frequent rain spread through the year, so laying days are planned around dry spells and permeable builds make sense. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in County Londonderry, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
