Resin bound driveways across Nottinghamshire
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.
Projects we quote in and around Nottingham include building a fully permeable drive on a front garden, framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts and overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive.
Prices in Nottinghamshire
Labour and material costs in the East Midlands run close to the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.
Resin bound driveways: £45–£120 per m².
Typical Nottinghamshire figures for a 30 m² drive: £1,350–£2,100 over sound tarmac or concrete; £2,250–£3,600 with a dig-out and new permeable base. Both include VAT.
Planning in Nottinghamshire
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 East Midlands sits around the UK average for rainfall, with a mix of clay vales and lighter ground that changes what the base needs. Laying days in Nottingham are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
