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 Stratford-upon-Avon we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Stratford-upon-Avon mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
In Stratford-upon-Avon we can price work such as fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb and replacing failed edges that have started to crumble. More about dropped kerb applications.

Planning in Stratford-upon-Avon
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. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
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 Stratford-upon-Avon: questions
Who approves dropped kerbs in Stratford-upon-Avon?
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.
Is the price fixed for Stratford-upon-Avon 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 Stratford-upon-Avon?
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.
