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 Ledbury depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Plots around Ledbury are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Projects we quote in and around Ledbury include adding a soakaway so water stays on the property, setting a channel drain across a garage entrance and fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive. More about dropped kerb applications.

Planning in Ledbury
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 West Midlands is close to the UK average for rainfall, and much of the region sits on clay that holds water after wet spells. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
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.
