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.
In Great Malvern, the survey for this work is about levels, falls and ground conditions: where water goes now, what is under the surface and how materials will reach the site. Homes in Great Malvern range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Across Worcestershire, the projects we price include setting a channel drain across a garage entrance, adding a soakaway so water stays on the property and fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive. More about dropped kerb applications.

Planning in Great Malvern
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. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Great Malvern jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.

Who approves dropped kerbs in Great Malvern?
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 Great Malvern?
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.
