Dropped kerb applications across North Yorkshire
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.
Highway authorities look at visibility, distance from junctions, trees, lamp posts and the size of the parking space. We measure the drive to the authority's standard, help with the application drawings and photographs, and time the drive so it is ready when the crossing is built.
Across North Yorkshire, the projects we price include fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, replacing failed edges that have started to crumble and preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb.

Planning in North Yorkshire
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.
Weather and working days
Rainfall varies widely across Yorkshire, from the drier Vale of York to wetter Pennine towns, and cold snaps shorten the laying season at either end. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in North Yorkshire, but dry, mild winter days can work too.

Dropped kerb applications in North Yorkshire: questions
How soon can you survey in North Yorkshire?
Call 0800 088 6341 or use the quote tool and we will offer survey dates. Surveys are free and run all year.
Do I need planning permission in North Yorkshire?
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.
Is the price fixed for North Yorkshire 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.
