Dropped kerb applications across Warwickshire
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.
Driving over a pavement without a dropped kerb is an offence and can damage pipes and cables under the footway, so a new drive with no crossing should not be used until one is in place.
Typical projects we can quote for in Nuneaton include replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, adding a soakaway so water stays on the property and preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb.

Planning in Warwickshire
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.
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. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Warwickshire, but dry, mild winter days can work too.

Dropped kerb applications in Warwickshire: questions
Do I need planning permission in Warwickshire?
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.
