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.
Before quoting groundworks in Coalville we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Homes in Coalville range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Across Leicestershire, the projects we price include fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, setting a channel drain across a garage entrance and replacing failed edges that have started to crumble. More about dropped kerb applications.

Planning in Coalville
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 East Midlands sits around the UK average for rainfall, with a mix of clay vales and lighter ground that changes what the base needs. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Coalville jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.

Dropped kerb applications in Coalville: questions
Do I need planning permission in Coalville?
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 Coalville?
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.
