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 Hawick, 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. In and around Hawick, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Typical projects we can quote for in Hawick include fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance. More about dropped kerb applications.

Planning in Hawick
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 South of Scotland mixes wet western hills with drier eastern lowlands, and frost is common in winter. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Hawick jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
How it works
You start with a guide price, we visit to measure and check the site, you get a written quote, and we book the work for suitable weather.
Dropped kerb applications in Hawick: questions

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.
How soon can you survey in Hawick?
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 Hawick?
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.
