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 East Dereham, 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. Around East Dereham, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
Projects we quote in and around East Dereham include preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb, replacing failed edges that have started to crumble and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property. More about dropped kerb applications.

Planning in East Dereham
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 of England is the driest part of the UK, which gives a long resin laying season, though heavy clays in places mean the sub-base needs designing for slow drainage. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Norfolk, but dry, mild winter days can work too.

Who approves dropped kerbs in East Dereham?
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.
Do I need planning permission in East Dereham?
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.
