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 Bentley we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Homes in Bentley range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
In Bentley we can price work such as setting a channel drain across a garage entrance, fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property. More about dropped kerb applications.

Planning in Bentley
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
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. Laying days in Bentley are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
