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 Enniskillen depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Plots around Enniskillen are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Typical projects we can quote for in Enniskillen include setting a channel drain across a garage entrance, digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base and preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb. More about dropped kerb applications.

Planning in Enniskillen
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. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in County Fermanagh, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
How it works
You start with a guide price, we visit to measure and check the site, you get a written quote, and we book the work for suitable weather.

Do I need planning permission in Enniskillen?
Northern Ireland has its own permitted development order for houses, with conditions on hard surfaces and drainage: the simplest route is a surface that keeps rainwater within your boundary. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
