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 Ewell we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Ewell mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Across Surrey, the projects we price include setting a channel drain across a garage entrance, fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive and preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb. More about dropped kerb applications.

Planning in Ewell
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 East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. Laying days in Ewell are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.

Dropped kerb applications in Ewell: questions
Is the price fixed for Ewell 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.
Do I need planning permission in Ewell?
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.
