Dropped kerb applications across Glasgow
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.
Highway authorities look at visibility, distance from junctions, trees, lamp posts and the size of the parking space. We measure the drive to the authority's standard, help with the application drawings and photographs, and time the drive so it is ready when the crossing is built.
Typical projects we can quote for in Glasgow include fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, replacing failed edges that have started to crumble and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property.

Planning in Glasgow
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.
Weather and working days
The West of Scotland is one of the wettest parts of the UK, which makes permeable driveways and careful laying-day planning especially important. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Glasgow, but dry, mild winter days can work too.

Do I need planning permission in Glasgow?
Scotland's householder permitted development rules allow many hard surfaces at a house where the surface is porous or water drains to a permeable area within the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
