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 Greenwich depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Greenwich mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
In Greenwich we can price work such as digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base, adding a soakaway so water stays on the property and replacing failed edges that have started to crumble. More about dropped kerb applications.

Planning in Greenwich
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
London is one of the drier parts of the UK, but heavy summer downpours on small, mostly paved plots are exactly what front-garden drainage rules were written for. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Greenwich jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
