Trafford Council's Central place profile covers the wards of Ashton upon Mersey, Brooklands, Manor, Sale Central and Sale Moor, and it says the area has over 23,000 homes, based on the 2021 Census.
Trafford's drive sizes
Trafford Council says that if you plan to turn your front garden into a driveway, you should apply for a dropped kerb before you start any work. It says the drive must be at least 5 metres deep from where it meets the pavement, and some homes need more. It also says the drive must be at least 3.1 metres wide, with a slope of less than 10%.
We measure your front garden against those three numbers before we price anything.
Where the rain goes
Trafford Council's dropped kerb guide asks that any new drive is built from permeable material. Government guidance calls a surface permeable when it allows water to soak through it. If it is not, the council says the rain should run to a lawn, or into a drainage channel built into the drive.
The council's profile of the area says the River Mersey runs through the northern part, with meadow and farmland in the floodplain. We lay resin bound on an open stone base so the rain soaks into your own ground. If you would rather have a solid surface, we fit a channel across the drive to catch the water.
Ashton upon Mersey and planning permission
Trafford Council's profile says the Ashton upon Mersey Conservation Area covers the old core of the village, around the church, the hall and the farmstead (the old farm). Trafford Council says a conservation area is one of special architectural or historic interest, where that special character must be kept or improved.
Trafford Council says you need planning permission for a dropped kerb if your home is in a conservation area, is a listed building or is on a classified road, and it says to get that permission before you apply for the crossing. If your home is in or near Ashton upon Mersey, we check the conservation area map with you before we plan the drive.
Questions about driveways in Sale
My neighbour and I share a drive. Can we get one wide kerb?
Yes, Trafford Council says two neighbours who share a driveway can build a double width crossing to serve both homes. It says one person should act as the applicant for both. If you both want it, we can lay both sides of the drive in one go.
Can I park a van or a work lorry on the drive?
Trafford Council says a crossing should not be used by heavy goods vehicles or mechanical vehicles. It says any damage to the pavement from the wrong vehicle is for the person living there to repair. Tell us what you park, and we set the depth of the drive's stone base to suit it.
I rent my home in Sale. Can I still get a drive?
Trafford Council's profile says 69.5% of homes in this part of Trafford are owner occupied. If yours is rented, we need your landlord's yes in writing before we start.
Do you work near Sale too?
Yes, we lay drives across Greater Manchester, including Altrincham, Stretford and Urmston.
