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.
Before quoting groundworks in Alloa we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. In and around Alloa, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Across the Forth Valley, the projects we price include preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb, adding a soakaway so water stays on the property and fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive. More about dropped kerb applications.

Planning in Alloa
A dropped kerb always needs consent from your council as roads 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 Scotland, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
Central Scotland gets steady rainfall through the year, so a permeable build and well-planned falls keep drives free of standing water. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Alloa jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
