Local know-how
Building on Hampshire chalk, clay and forest gravels
North and central Hampshire, around Winchester, Andover and Basingstoke, sits on chalk. It gives a firm, free-draining base, though flint bands slow the dig and the spoil volume is high, so muck away is a real line on those quotes.
Down towards Southampton, Fareham and Portsmouth there is more clay and river gravel. Clay holds water after rain, so non-permeable drives need proper falls to a drain or soakaway, and sub-bases go deeper. On the edge of the New Forest the ground is sandy and gravelly, which drains well.
Planning in Hampshire and the New Forest
Planning is handled by the district or city council: for example Winchester City Council, Test Valley for Andover and Romsey, Basingstoke and Deane, New Forest District Council, or Southampton and Portsmouth city councils. Inside the New Forest National Park, the National Park Authority deals with planning instead, and it is stricter about hard surfacing and boundary changes. We check which applies before pricing. Our planning permission guide explains the national rules.
FAQs
Questions about working in Hampshire
Do you cover the New Forest?
Yes. We work in and around the New Forest, including Ringwood, Fordingbridge, Lymington and New Milton. Inside the National Park, planning goes through the New Forest National Park Authority, so we check the rules for front drives and boundaries first.
How far north in Hampshire do you go?
As far as Andover and Basingstoke, and the villages around them. For anywhere further north, give us a call and we will tell you straight whether we can help.
Does chalk ground make a driveway cheaper or dearer?
It can go either way. Chalk is a firm base once you reach it, but it is slow to dig when there is flint in it, and there is a lot of spoil to take away. We price the dig and the muck away separately so you can see it.
We also cover Dorset, South Wiltshire and West Sussex.
