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 Huntingdon we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Plots around Huntingdon are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Typical projects we can quote for in Huntingdon include digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base, setting a channel drain across a garage entrance and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property. More about dropped kerb applications.

Planning in Huntingdon
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.
General information for England, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
The East of England is the driest part of the UK, which gives a long resin laying season, though heavy clays in places mean the sub-base needs designing for slow drainage. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
How it works
Guide price first, then a free visit, then a line-by-line quote. Nothing is booked until you have the specification in writing.
