Resin bound driveways across Lancashire
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 Preston include swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put, widening a drive into the front garden for a second car and building a fully permeable drive on a front garden.
Prices in Lancashire
For the North West, where typical costs are a little below the UK average, these are the ranges we would expect before seeing your property.
Resin bound driveways: £40–£110 per m².
For a 70 m² drive in Lancashire: about £2,950–£4,550 as an overlay on a sound base, or roughly £4,900–£7,800 if the old surface has to come out for a dig-out and new permeable base.
Planning in Lancashire
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. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
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 North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so laying days are picked carefully and drainage under the drive gets extra attention. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Lancashire, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
