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 Fleetwood, 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. Many homes in Fleetwood have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
In Fleetwood we can price work such as replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance. More about dropped kerb applications.

Planning in Fleetwood
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 North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so laying days are picked carefully and drainage under the drive gets extra attention. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Lancashire, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
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.
Dropped kerb applications in Fleetwood: questions
What postcodes do you cover around Fleetwood?
We cover FY7, FY5 and FY6 and the surrounding districts, including Thornton-Cleveleys and Poulton-le-Fylde.
Do I need planning permission in Fleetwood?
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.
Who approves dropped kerbs in Fleetwood?
Dropped kerb consent comes from your council as local highway authority. We help with the application and get your drive ready to meet the new crossing.
