As the title suggests I'm in the process of converting my front garden into a driveway.

But I was just thinking, the drawings didn't show anything about possible pipes, gas pipes etc that could be under the garden.

How do I go about finding out if there is anything like that which could problems?

The planning application is separate to the construction stage. The planning drawings should be used as a guide.

When you appoint a builder, it will be his responsibility to thread carefully and be on the lookout for buried cables such as water, ESB or gas.
