What dropped kerb applications involve
A dropped kerb, or vehicle crossover, is a lowered section of kerb and strengthened pavement that lets a car cross the footway to reach a driveway. It needs consent from the highway authority (your council in England, Wales and Scotland; DfI Roads in Northern Ireland), and the work in the pavement is done by that authority or a contractor it approves.
In Fraserburgh, the survey for this work is about levels, falls and ground conditions: where water goes now, what is under the surface and how materials will reach the site. Around Fraserburgh, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
Across Aberdeenshire, the projects we price include fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property. More about dropped kerb applications.

Planning in Fraserburgh
A dropped kerb always needs consent from your council as roads authority, whether or not the driveway itself needs planning permission. A new access onto a classified road can need planning permission as well.
General information for Scotland, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
North East Scotland is relatively dry for Scotland but cold, so the laying season is shorter and a free-draining base helps with frost. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Fraserburgh jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
