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 Slough, 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. Slough has a broad mix of housing, from terraces near the centre to detached homes on the edges.
In Slough we can price work such as digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base, 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 Slough
A dropped kerb always needs consent from your council as local highway 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
The South East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Berkshire, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
