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 Bromsgrove depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Homes in Bromsgrove range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
In Bromsgrove we can price work such as replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property. More about dropped kerb applications.

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.
