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 Basingstoke, 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. Basingstoke has a broad mix of housing, from terraces near the centre to detached homes on the edges.
Projects we quote in and around Basingstoke include setting a channel drain across a garage entrance, preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb and fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive. More about dropped kerb applications.

Planning in Basingstoke
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 England, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
The South East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
How it works
The steps are simple: guide price, free survey, written quote with a fixed price once the specification is agreed, then a date that suits you and the weather.
