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 Rhondda, 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 Rhondda range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Typical projects we can quote for in Rhondda include replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive and digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base. More about dropped kerb applications.

Planning in Rhondda

General information for Wales, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
South Wales is wetter than most of England, so a permeable build or a planned route for water is essential on every drive. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
