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 Norwich, 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. Drives in Norwich range from single-car frontages to wide plots, which is why every price follows a measured survey.
Projects we quote in and around Norwich include fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property. More about dropped kerb applications.

Planning in Norwich
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. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Norwich jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
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.
