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.
In Woking, the survey for this work is about levels, falls and ground conditions: where water goes now, what is under the surface and how materials will reach the site. Plot sizes and existing surfaces vary a lot across Woking, so the survey comes before any fixed figure.
Projects we quote in and around Woking include digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base, preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb and fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive. More about dropped kerb applications.

Planning in Woking
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 Woking are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
How it works
You start with a guide price, we visit to measure and check the site, you get a written quote, and we book the work for suitable weather.
Dropped kerb applications in Woking: questions
Do I need planning permission in Woking?
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.
Who approves dropped kerbs in Woking?
Dropped kerb consent comes from your council as local highway authority. We help with the application and get your drive ready to meet the new crossing.
