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.
Groundwork prices in Flint depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Homes in Flint range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Across Clwyd, the projects we price include preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb, 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 Flint
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 Wales, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
North Wales ranges from mild coastal towns to wetter upland areas, so drainage and laying days are planned with the weather in mind. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
