Resin Bound Driveways in Frome

Resin bound paving is a high-performance surfacing system produced by blending natural stone aggregates with a UV-stable resin binder, forming a smooth, seamless, and visually sympathetic surface well suited to Frome’s BA11 stone-built properties and varied residential terrain.

Key Advantages of Resin Bound Paving:

• Permeable & SuDS-Compliant: Frome sits in the valley of the River Frome, and parts of the town are subject to flood risk designations. Resin bound paving drains naturally, managing surface water without increasing run-off — a meaningful benefit in the town’s lower-lying and riverside areas.
• Durable & Crack-Resistant: The flexible resin structure accommodates ground movement and temperature variation, producing a long-lasting surface appropriate for Frome’s characteristically steep and varied residential streets.
• Low Maintenance: Resin bound surfaces resist weed growth and maintain their appearance reliably over many years — a practical benefit on the cobbled and terraced approaches common across Frome’s historic neighbourhoods.
• Fully Bonded Finish: Aggregates are encapsulated in resin before installation, forming a stable surface appropriate for uneven, stepped, and terraced driveway settings common throughout the town.

Planning consideration: Frome has a designated Conservation Area covering the historic core, including the celebrated Gentle Street, Catherine Hill, and Cheap Street areas, administered by Somerset Council (formerly Mendip District Council). The town also sits on the fringe of the Mendip Hills National Landscape (formerly AONB). Whilst a permeable driveway replacement generally does not require planning permission, any alterations to listed boundary walls, gate piers, or traditional materials within a listed curtilage require Listed Building Consent. The town’s medieval street pattern also means that many properties have restricted access and complex groundwork considerations. We recommend consulting Somerset Council’s heritage team before proceeding with any works in the historic core.
