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 Cannock we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Cannock has a broad mix of housing, from terraces near the centre to detached homes on the edges.
In Cannock 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 digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base. More about dropped kerb applications.

Planning in Cannock
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 West Midlands is close to the UK average for rainfall, and much of the region sits on clay that holds water after wet spells. Laying days in Cannock are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.

Dropped kerb applications in Cannock: questions
Is the price fixed for Cannock 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.
What postcodes do you cover around Cannock?
We cover WS11 and WS12 and the surrounding districts, including Great Wyrley and Burntwood.
Do I need planning permission in Cannock?
In England, a new or replaced hard surface of more than 5 m² in a front garden is permitted development only if it is porous, or if rainwater drains to a lawn, border or soakaway within the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
