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 Cramlington, 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 Cramlington range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Projects we quote in and around Cramlington include preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb, replacing failed edges that have started to crumble and digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base. More about dropped kerb applications.

Planning in Cramlington
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 North East has cool winters, so resin is laid in the warmer months or on dry, mild days when ground and air are above about 5°C. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
