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 Lossiemouth depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Around Lossiemouth, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
Projects we quote in and around Lossiemouth include adding a soakaway so water stays on the property, 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 Lossiemouth
A dropped kerb always needs consent from your council as roads 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 Scotland, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
North East Scotland is relatively dry for Scotland but cold, so the laying season is shorter and a free-draining base helps with frost. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.

Dropped kerb applications in Lossiemouth: questions
Is the price fixed for Lossiemouth jobs?
Yes, once the scope and specification are agreed in writing. If hidden ground conditions turn up, we explain and agree any change with you before doing extra work.
Who approves dropped kerbs in Lossiemouth?
Dropped kerb consent comes from your council as roads authority. We help with the application and get your drive ready to meet the new crossing.
Do I need planning permission in Lossiemouth?
Scotland's householder permitted development rules allow many hard surfaces at a house where the surface is porous or water drains to a permeable area within the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
