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
