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 Waterlooville depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Waterlooville mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
In Waterlooville we can price work such as adding a soakaway so water stays on the property, 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.

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. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Waterlooville jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.

Dropped kerb applications in Waterlooville: questions
Do I need planning permission in Waterlooville?
In England, a new or replaced hard surface of more than 5 m² in a front garden is permitted development only if it is porous, or if rainwater drains to a lawn, border or soakaway within the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
