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 Cheshunt, 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. Homes in Cheshunt range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Projects we quote in and around Cheshunt include preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb, adding a soakaway so water stays on the property and replacing failed edges that have started to crumble. More about dropped kerb applications.

Planning in Cheshunt
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.

Weather and working days
The East of England is the driest part of the UK, which gives a long resin laying season, though heavy clays in places mean the sub-base needs designing for slow drainage. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Cheshunt jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
