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 Willenhall we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Willenhall mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Projects we quote in and around Willenhall include preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb, replacing failed edges that have started to crumble and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance. More about dropped kerb applications.

Planning in Willenhall
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.

Dropped kerb applications in Willenhall: questions
Who approves dropped kerbs in Willenhall?
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.
Do I need planning permission in Willenhall?
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.
