SUDS Compliance
Permeable resin driveways that drain properly in heavy rain — no pooling, no flooding, no planning headaches for Loughton properties.
What We Do
Covering SUDS-compliant resin-bound surfaces, free-draining sub-base installation, surface water management systems, and planning compliance assessment.
Permeable Driveway Install
Free-draining sub-base with resin-bound surface meeting SUDS compliance
SUDS Compliance Assessment
Drainage system design confirming planning requirements and soil permeability
Why Chigwell Resin Driveways
Most driveway flooding starts below the surface — inadequate sub-base design on clay soil leads to waterlogging, pooling, and failed planning inspections within the first winter.
Clay with flint soil prevents natural drainage, leaving water sitting on solid surfaces for hours after heavy rain.
New driveways over 5m² need permeable surfaces to manage runoff, delaying projects without proper design.
Properties near Epping Forest with hanging woodlands soil face unclear drainage paths and soakaway placement.
Resin-bound surface allows 600mm/hour infiltration rate, channeling water into free-draining sub-base instead of pooling on top.
Site assessment checks soil permeability, soakaway location, and drainage path to confirm planning requirements are met.
Who We Help
From detached family homes to semi-detached houses, we arrange permeable paving for properties needing SUDS-compliant solutions.
Detached family homes with solid concrete or tarmac driveways pooling water after rain and requiring planning-compliant replacement.
Semi-detached houses adding parking space where planning permission requires permeable surface to manage runoff.
Homes near Loughton town centre or Alderton Hill needing SUDS compliance to reduce surface water flooding risk.
New builds near Debden Station requiring permeable driveways to satisfy building control and environmental compliance.
How We Work
From site assessment to final drainage check, we arrange experienced installers to deliver SUDS-compliant surfaces.
Site Assessment & Drainage Design
Installer visits your property to test soil permeability, confirm soakaway location, and design sub-base for clay with flint conditions.
Sub-Base & Membrane Installation
Excavation to required depth, geotextile membrane laid, then free-draining aggregate sub-base compacted to prevent waterlogging.
Resin Surface & Drainage Check
Resin-bound surface applied, cured for 24 hours, then water test confirms drainage rate meets SUDS compliance before handover.

Sub-base design accounts for clay with flint's low permeability, using geotextile membrane and aggregate layers to prevent waterlogging.
Open resin matrix allows leaves and pollen to wash through during high pollen seasons, maintaining drainage performance.
Surface water management system controls runoff volume, preventing excess water from overwhelming local drainage networks.
