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 Kilwinning we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Around Kilwinning, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
Across Ayrshire, the projects we price include fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb and replacing failed edges that have started to crumble. More about dropped kerb applications.

Planning in Kilwinning
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
The West of Scotland is one of the wettest parts of the UK, which makes permeable driveways and careful laying-day planning especially important. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Kilwinning jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.

Do I need planning permission in Kilwinning?
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.
Who approves dropped kerbs in Kilwinning?
Dropped kerb consent comes from your council as roads authority. We help with the application and get your drive ready to meet the new crossing.
