Sand and gravel over Coal Measures
Wigan sits on sand and gravel above the Coal Measures, at the heart of what was the Lancashire coalfield.
The gravel drains, which makes the driveway build the easy part. The mosslands west of the town are a different matter — peat sits in that ground and compresses under load in a way sand and gravel do not. It is not mapped beneath the town itself, but it is close enough that ground worth checking is ground worth checking.
Wigan has no Article 4 on hard surfaces, and the council builds all crossings. It also publishes the bluntest warning of any council in the region: if a BT or Virgin service box has to be moved for your crossing, it estimates £6,000, and says that if you are not willing to fund it, do not apply.
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.
