What is included?

A dropped kerb, or vehicle crossing, is a section of pavement and kerb lowered and strengthened so a vehicle can legally cross the footway to reach a driveway. It needs the highway authority's approval before any work starts.

  • Check the frontage: trees, lamp posts, covers, junctions and sight lines
  • Help preparing the application and site plan
  • Planning permission check for classified roads
  • Construction to the council's specification where approved contractors are allowed
  • Footway reinstatement in tarmac or to match
  • Coordinated with the new drive so both are finished together

Rules in Clwyd

In Wales, new front hardstanding should be porous or drain to a permeable area within the property, and work covering 100 m² or more with drainage effects usually needs SAB approval first. A vehicle crossing over the footway is a separate approval, from the council as highway authority.
