Questions from Atherton
Do you cover Atherton?
Yes. Atherton is about 6 miles from our base in Wigan, and we cover Atherton (M46). Ring Gaz on 07923 485811 or send a few photos on WhatsApp.
Do I need a dropped kerb in Atherton?
Yes, if you'll drive over the pavement to get onto the drive, and in Atherton that goes through Wigan Council. You apply with their vehicle crossing form and they reply within 20 working days. If it's approved, they take a deposit and build the crossing themselves. On an A, B or C road you need planning permission first, and council tenants need written permission from their estates manager. More on Wigan Council's dropped kerb page.
Do I need planning permission for a new drive in Atherton?
Not usually. A new front drive doesn't need planning permission if the surface lets water through, or the rain drains into a lawn or border on your own land. If it's over 5 square metres, solid and drains onto the road, it does, and in Atherton you'd apply to Wigan Council.
How much does a new driveway or patio cost in Atherton?
Every job is priced on its size, the material and what has to come up first. Send a few photos on WhatsApp to 07923 485811 and Gaz will give you a free price. If it's worth a visit, he'll come out and measure up.
