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 Ammanford, 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. Around Ammanford, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
In Ammanford we can price work such as adding a soakaway so water stays on the property, replacing failed edges that have started to crumble and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance. More about dropped kerb applications.

Planning in Ammanford
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
West Wales has a mild but wet climate, which makes drainage the first question on any resin job. Laying days in Ammanford are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.

Dropped kerb consent comes from your council as local highway authority. We help with the application and get your drive ready to meet the new crossing.
Do I need planning permission in Ammanford?
Wales has its own permitted development rules on the same principle: a front-garden hard surface should be porous or drain to a permeable area on the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
