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.
In Holyhead, the survey for this work is about levels, falls and ground conditions: where water goes now, what is under the surface and how materials will reach the site. Around Holyhead, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
Across Gwynedd, the projects we price include replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb and digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base. More about dropped kerb applications.

Planning in Holyhead
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.
General information for Wales, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
North Wales ranges from mild coastal towns to wetter upland areas, so drainage and laying days are planned with the weather in mind. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Holyhead jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.

Dropped kerb applications in Holyhead: questions
Do I need planning permission in Holyhead?
Wales has its own permitted development rules on the same principle: a front-garden hard surface should be porous or drain to a permeable area on the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
Is the price fixed for Holyhead jobs?
Yes, once the scope and specification are agreed in writing. If hidden ground conditions turn up, we explain and agree any change with you before doing extra work.
Who approves dropped kerbs in Holyhead?
Dropped kerb consent comes from your council as local highway authority. We help with the application and get your drive ready to meet the new crossing.
