Resin Driveways in Writtle, Essex

Writtle is one of the most charming villages near Chelmsford. With its duck pond, village green and mix of period cottages and modern family homes, it has a character all of its own. A resin bound driveway is a great way to add style and value to your Writtle property while keeping things practical.

Elite Resin Driveways Ltd has worked with homeowners across Writtle and the surrounding area. We understand that this village has a strong sense of pride in its appearance. That is why we offer a wide range of natural stone aggregate colours that blend in with the local surroundings. From warm golden tones to classic silver grey, we can match your driveway to your home.

Writtle is surrounded by green spaces and farmland. Mud, leaves and debris can make their way onto your driveway throughout the year. Resin bound surfaces are very easy to keep clean. A quick sweep or rinse with a garden hose is usually all you need. There are no loose stones to scatter and no joints for weeds to grow through.

Resin driveways are also smooth and flat, which is ideal for pushchairs, wheelchairs and bicycles. Many Writtle families appreciate how safe and accessible the surface is for everyone.

Writtle falls under Chelmsford City Council, and sits within Writtle conservation area.

The surface is rarely the problem. Resin bound is permeable, so the five-square-metre rule that catches concrete and block paving does not apply to it at any size. Inside a conservation area it is the boundary that needs watching — walls, gates, fences and the access itself.

Writtle's green and the surrounding buildings are designated, and the village has a long agricultural-college history. Inside the boundary, front-boundary work that would be permitted development elsewhere may need an application.

Highways and planning sit with different bodies here: Essex County Council for the vehicle crossing, Chelmsford City Council for planning. The frontage must be at least 5 metres deep measured back from the road, or the crossing is refused outright.

For how this compares with the rest of the county, see our planning permission guide for Essex driveways.
