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 Deal depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Homes in Deal range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Typical projects we can quote for in Deal include adding a soakaway so water stays on the property, replacing failed edges that have started to crumble and digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base. More about dropped kerb applications.

Planning in Deal
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 South East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Kent, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
