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 Dundee, 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. Dundee has a broad mix of housing, from terraces near the centre to detached homes on the edges.
Across Angus and Dundee, the projects we price include replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance. More about dropped kerb applications.

Planning in Dundee
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.

Weather and working days
Tayside has cold winters and a shorter laying season, so jobs are usually booked for the warmer months. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Angus and Dundee, but dry, mild winter days can work too.

Dropped kerb applications in Dundee: questions
Do I need planning permission in Dundee?
Scotland's householder permitted development rules allow many hard surfaces at a house where the surface is porous or water drains to a permeable area within the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
What postcodes do you cover around Dundee?
We cover DD1, DD2, DD3, DD4 and DD5 and the surrounding districts, including Forfar and Arbroath.
