How the Dropped Kerb Process Works
- Check your property – we’ll look at the frontage, visibility and space for a vehicle.
- Council application – dropped kerbs require approval from your local highways authority (such as Stoke-on-Trent City Council, Staffordshire County Council or Cheshire East Council). Planning permission may also be needed in some cases.
- Kerb installation – works on the public footpath must be carried out in line with your council’s rules, which may require an approved or accredited contractor. We’ll explain what applies in your area.
- Your new driveway – we build the driveway on your side of the boundary in block paving, tarmac or resin, with drainage so water doesn’t run onto the road.
Combining your driveway and dropped kerb into one project keeps things simple and makes sure the levels and finish match properly.
