Where the canal, the railway and the A45 all meet

Weedon is unusual in having the canal, the West Coast Main Line and the A45 all threading through it, and the village grew around that. The former Royal Ordnance Depot is the most visible reminder of it. Practically, it means the housing here ranges from substantial period property through to modern development, and a fair number of frontages sit close to a busy road.

Roadside frontages are worth thinking about when you choose a surface. Loose gravel next to the A45 ends up on the pavement and in the gutter within weeks, and gets thrown by passing traffic. Resin bound gives you exactly the same aggregate look with every stone locked into the resin, so nothing migrates onto the road. It is also easier to keep clean where a driveway picks up road dust.

Local detail

What shapes a driveway in Weedon Bec

  • On the A45 — roadside driveways where loose stone would migrate onto the highway.
  • Grand Union Canal and West Coast Main Line through the village — permeable surfacing keeps run-off on your own land.
  • Wide span of housing ages, from period property to modern estates.
  • Larger village with a good deal of off-street parking, much of it laid over sound existing bases we can often work over.
Planning, in short. In England you can normally lay a new front driveway of any size without planning permission provided the surface is permeable, or run-off is directed to a permeable area within your own boundary. More than five square metres of impermeable surfacing generally needs permission. Every driveway we lay is fully permeable. For anything site-specific, West Northamptonshire Council is your planning authority.

Questions

Resin driveways in Weedon Bec: common questions

Is resin better than gravel for a driveway on the A45?
For a roadside frontage, considerably. Loose gravel gets carried onto the pavement and road by tyres and thrown by passing traffic, so it needs constant raking and topping up. Resin bound uses the same aggregate but binds every stone into a solid, permeable surface, so nothing travels off the drive at all.
How far is Weedon from your base?
Roughly five miles south-east along the A45. We are Daventry-based, so it is a short run and surveys are easy to book.
Does a resin driveway need sealing or re-coating?
No. Resin bound is not a coating that wears off — the resin binds the aggregate all the way through the depth of the surface. Unlike pattern imprinted concrete, which typically needs periodically resealing to keep its colour, a properly laid resin bound driveway needs no more than occasional washing.
