Driveway in Bridgend โ€” FAQs

A block paved driveway in Bridgend typically costs ยฃ80 to ยฃ120 per square metre, resin bound ยฃ90 to ยฃ140, and tarmac ยฃ50 to ยฃ80, so a standard drive often totals ยฃ4,000 to ยฃ9,000. Excavation, drainage and edging affect the final figure.
You do not need planning permission for a driveway in Bridgend if it uses permeable materials, or if rainwater drains to a soakaway or lawn rather than the road. A traditional impermeable drive over five square metres that drains to the road does need permission.
Most driveways in Bridgend take 3 to 7 days depending on size, the surface chosen and how much excavation and drainage is needed. Resin and concrete need curing time before use.
Block paving and concrete can last 30 years or more with care, resin bound around 15 to 25 years, and tarmac 15 to 20 years. A well-prepared sub-base matters more for longevity than the surface alone, so use an experienced Bridgend installer.
A good Bridgend installer designs falls and drainage to current SUDS rules so surface water soaks away on site rather than running onto the road. This keeps the drive compliant and prevents pooling.
