A dropped kerb needs the highway authority's approval, and on classified roads or where a front garden becomes parking, planning permission can be required too, with drainage rules on new hardstanding.
- Highway and planning requirement check
- Application drawings to council specification
- Permeable drainage compliance for hardstanding
- Submission and approval management
Do I need planning permission for a dropped kerb? +
On classified roads, yes; elsewhere usually only highway approval, plus the drainage rules for the parking surface. We confirm your road's status first.
Can the council refuse a crossover? +
Yes, on visibility, trees, utilities or footway grounds. The application we prepare addresses the assessable criteria before submission.
