Glacial till over sandstone
Alderley Edge sits on glacial till above the Triassic sandstones and conglomerates that form the Edge itself.
The sandstone is free-draining; the clay above it is not, and the clay is what a driveway is built into. So infiltration should be tested rather than assumed, and the sub-base designed to move water rather than store it forever.
Cheshire East has no Article 4 direction on hard surfaces — not in Alderley Edge and not in any of its 76 conservation areas. A 2022 appraisal proposed one for Alderley Edge, but it was never made, so it is not in force and should not be treated as though it were.
Ground descriptions come from the British Geological Survey’s national mapping at 1:625,000 — that is regional coverage, not a survey of your garden, and it will not show made ground or local pockets of peat. We check the actual ground when the dig opens up. For the planning side across every council in the region, see our guide to driveway planning permission in Greater Manchester.
