Dropped kerb applications across County Tyrone
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.
Driving over a pavement without a dropped kerb is an offence and can damage pipes and cables under the footway, so a new drive with no crossing should not be used until one is in place.
In Omagh we can price work such as digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base, fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance.

Planning in County Tyrone
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.
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 Tyrone, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
