Dropped kerb applications across the East Riding of Yorkshire
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.
Typical projects we can quote for in Hull include fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, replacing failed edges that have started to crumble and digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base.
Prices in the East Riding of Yorkshire
Labour and material costs in Yorkshire and the Humber run a little below the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.
Dropped kerb applications: about £1,000–£2,500 per crossing, set by the highway authority.
Planning in the East Riding of Yorkshire
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.
Weather and working days
Rainfall varies widely across Yorkshire, from the drier Vale of York to wetter Pennine towns, and cold snaps shorten the laying season at either end. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Hull jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.

Do I need planning permission in the East Riding of Yorkshire?
In England, a new or replaced hard surface of more than 5 m² in a front garden is permitted development only if it is porous, or if rainwater drains to a lawn, border or soakaway within the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
