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 Neath depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Many homes in Neath have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
In Neath we can price work such as digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base, replacing failed edges that have started to crumble and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance. More about dropped kerb applications.

Planning in Neath
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 Wales, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
South Wales is wetter than most of England, so a permeable build or a planned route for water is essential on every drive. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in West Glamorgan, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
How it works
