Resin driveways in Wallasey
Many Wallasey homes have small front gardens. Turning one into parking brings two rules into play: the 5m² planning rule and the dropped kerb.
Local notes
Things to know in Wallasey
Turning a front garden into parking
To drive across the pavement, you need a dropped kerb (vehicle crossing), which needs Wirral Council's approval. Do this before laying a new drive. If the paved area is over 5m² and isn't permeable, it also needs planning permission. A resin bound surface on a new porous base avoids that.
Conservation areas
The Magazines and Wellington Road are conservation areas. If you're in one, check with Wirral Council before changing walls or the front boundary.
Sea front
Homes near the promenade get strong sun and blown sand. A UV-stable (aliphatic) resin and regular brushing keep the surface looking right and draining.

FAQ
Wallasey questions
Do I need a dropped kerb?
If you'll drive across the pavement to park, yes. It needs Wirral Council's approval, so apply before the drive is laid.
Is a small resin patio or path worth it?
It can be. Small jobs cost more per m², and there's a minimum charge. Check the calculator for a rough figure.
