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.
Groundwork prices in Rugeley depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Rugeley mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Across Staffordshire, the projects we price include digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base, setting a channel drain across a garage entrance and fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive. More about dropped kerb applications.

Planning in Rugeley
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. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.

Do I need planning permission in Rugeley?
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.
