Planning Permission - driveways
StableDRIVE is a permeable paving solution; see here for more details - http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/england/genpub/en/1115316438436.html

Capabilities
StableDRIVE is suited to pedestrian and vehicular traffic with the correct sub-base (50mm to 200mm of hardcore / crushed concrete - depending on the level of use) and level layer of compacted sharp sand.

Sloping sites
Whilst StableDRIVE can be used on reasonable slopes, and is in fact a very good slope stabilising unit, gradients over 1 :10 will result in migration of the top dressing of gravel, exposing the outline of the honeycomb which, in heavy traffic situations, may compromise long term durability.

Installation queries
Please view specification and installation pages.

Raw material
The units are manufactured in the UK from 100% UK sourced re-cycled MDPE, so adding eco friendly and sustainable credentials to the product.

Unit sizes
520mm x 480mm x 45mm (4 segments per metre squared).

Aggregate size
We recommend using upto a 20mm diameter of stone / gravel.

SUDS / Drainage
Yes, water simply runs through the gravel and the permeable segments.

Edging options
1. Brick & Cement
2. Haunched concrete
3. Tanalised timber
4. Specialist edging (www.gardengravels.co.uk)
5. Tarmacadam (for ramping to existing surfaces)

DIY Installation
Please see specification and installation pages.

Country of manufacture

Availability
Stock is available for delivery throughout UK.

Maintenance
Ensure that the honeycomb is always covered with a thin layer of gravel (approx 10 to 20mm). If you can see the honeycomb this is when it can become damaged. You may need to top up the gravel on heavily trafficked areas.

Limitations
The system is not designed for constant HGV traffic, other than as parking bays
