Having read all their info ... It can be laid on concrete - and originally had to be - but the cellular grid has negated the need for a concrete base (which wouldn't be permeable anyway). I have to have permeable so concrete is out.

I can't wait - and I will definitely post progress

Edge of a former pit village. Half a dozen pubs in within about 5 minutes but the country ones are a mile or so away. It is fabulous though. Definitely why I didn't want to move far. That's my view and within a hundred yards on the other side, Coop supermarket, 2 banks, 2 doctors, post office, pubs, etc etc. Oh and 5 mins from the M1 too. Can't beat it

I've clicked on the link and can't see any reference to 'exotica'

exotica???? What do you mean?

Has anyone any experience of resin bound driveways? I really like the look of it. Planning condition say my drive has to be permeable. The one I am looking at is laid on hardcore with a cellular grid to maintain the shape of the bound resin. https://www.sureset.co.uk/

Thanks for the welcome A couple of photos of my view. The new house will be similar but clearly from lower down. It's on quite a steep slope so will be split level. Going up to bedroom from entry and down to lounge. The bedroom has a small inset balcony

Hello I decided it was time to retire and downsize to fund my retirement. Took retirement and couldn't find anything I liked at a price I was willing to pay. The main reasons being I have fabulous views over open countryside from my current house and anything modern, which I wanted for ease of maintenance was a tiny little box. So I decided to explore the possibilities of building in my 100' by 40' garden. That was late last year - I am now just a few weeks off the building starting. Planning permission is in place and plans currently with building control. I haven't the first idea what I am doing and am excited and scared in equal measure. Having just read a few posts on here I can see me being a regular visitor and asking lots of questions. I just hope I can understand the answers.
