A canalside village, where permeable surfacing is the point
Braunston is defined by water. The Oxford Canal meets the Grand Union here, the marina sits at the centre of village life, and a lot of property in the village is close to a watercourse. When you are laying a new hard surface anywhere near water, permeability stops being a nice specification detail and becomes the whole argument.
Every resin bound driveway we lay is fully permeable and SUDS-compliant, which means rainwater drains down through the surface into the sub-base and away naturally, instead of sheeting off a sealed slab towards the nearest drain or channel. On top of the environmental sense, it is also the reason a permeable driveway normally sits inside permitted development in England, whatever its size, where an impermeable one over five square metres may not.
What shapes a driveway in Braunston
- Canal junction and marina village — surface water handling matters, and every system we lay is fully permeable.
- Sits directly on the Warwickshire border, but is administered by West Northamptonshire Council for planning.
- Mixed housing, from canalside and period cottages to newer development — aggregate blends chosen per property.
- Marina and boatyard traffic — resin bound handles regular car and light van use without rutting.
