How it is built
Rules that apply in Bangor, Gwynedd
In Wales, new front hardstanding should be porous or drain to a permeable area within the property, and work covering 100 m² or more with drainage effects usually needs SAB approval first. A vehicle crossing over the footway is a separate approval, from the council as highway authority.
What the price covers
Open-graded porous asphalt on a deep permeable stone base, so rain soaks through on site.
- Ground check: how fast does the soil drain?
- Dig out deeper than a standard drive to fit the storage layer
- Geotextile separating layer on the formation
- Overflow to a soakaway or border on slow-draining ground
- Edge restraint that does not block the flow
