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.
Before quoting groundworks in Montrose we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Plots around Montrose are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
In Montrose we can price work such as digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base, fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property. More about dropped kerb applications.

Planning in Montrose
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
Tayside has cold winters and a shorter laying season, so jobs are usually booked for the warmer months. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Montrose jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
How it works
The steps are simple: guide price, free survey, written quote with a fixed price once the specification is agreed, then a date that suits you and the weather.
Dropped kerb applications in Montrose: questions
Who approves dropped kerbs in Montrose?

What postcodes do you cover around Montrose?
We cover DD9 and the surrounding districts, including Arbroath and Forfar.
Do I need planning permission in Montrose?
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.
