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.
Before quoting groundworks in Yeovil we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Yeovil mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
In Yeovil we can price work such as preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb, adding a soakaway so water stays on the property and fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive. More about dropped kerb applications.

Planning in Yeovil
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 South West gets more rain than the east of England, especially on higher ground, so permeability and falls matter on every drive. Laying days in Yeovil are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
