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 Armagh, 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. In and around Armagh, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Projects we quote in and around Armagh include fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance. More about dropped kerb applications.

Planning in Armagh
A dropped kerb always needs consent from DfI Roads, 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 Northern Ireland, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
Northern Ireland has frequent rain spread through the year, so laying days are planned around dry spells and permeable builds make sense. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
