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.

Weather and working days
South Wales is wetter than most of England, so a permeable build or a planned route for water is essential on every drive. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
