Glacial till over sandstone
Wilmslow sits on glacial till with sandstone and conglomerate bedrock beneath — Cheshire ground rather than coalfield.
At driveway depth it is the clay that counts, and clay does not let water through quickly. So the base has to be built to hold and release rather than infiltrate. The surface choice is unaffected: resin bound is permeable and exempt at any size.
Cheshire East is unusual — despite 76 conservation areas, we found no Article 4 direction covering hard surfaces anywhere in the borough, including Wilmslow, Alderley Edge, Prestbury and Poynton. The conservation area itself still shapes what looks appropriate, but the right to lay a driveway has not been removed.
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.
