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 Stourbridge we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Many homes in Stourbridge have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Typical projects we can quote for in Stourbridge include replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance. More about dropped kerb applications.

Planning in Stourbridge
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.
