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 Strabane depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. In and around Strabane, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Across County Tyrone, the projects we price include replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property. More about dropped kerb applications.

Planning in Strabane
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.
