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 Paisley, 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. Plot sizes and existing surfaces vary a lot across Paisley, so the survey comes before any fixed figure.
Across Renfrewshire and Inverclyde, the projects we price include fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, setting a channel drain across a garage entrance and replacing failed edges that have started to crumble. More about dropped kerb applications.

Planning in Paisley
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
The West of Scotland is one of the wettest parts of the UK, which makes permeable driveways and careful laying-day planning especially important. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Renfrewshire and Inverclyde, but dry, mild winter days can work too.

Dropped kerb applications in Paisley: questions
What postcodes do you cover around Paisley?
We cover PA1, PA2 and PA3 and the surrounding districts, including Barrhead and Renfrew.
Do I need planning permission in Paisley?
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.
Is the price fixed for Paisley 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.
