Apply for a dropped kerb

You can ask us to drop the kerb in front of your driveway to allow access to your property.

Please be aware that you may need planning permission for a dropped kerb if:

  • your driveway is on a main road or in a conservation area
  • you are creating a new driveway by resurfacing a garden

How much

The initial site inspection costs £50. If we approve your application, this £50 will go towards the cost of carrying out the work.

If your application is refused, you decide to use your own contractor or do not to go ahead with the job we cannot refund the £50 inspection fee.

If we approve your application, we will send you a quote for the full cost of the work within 21 working days.
