Do I need a dropped kerb?

If you will drive across a pavement or verge to reach the driveway, you need a dropped kerb, also called a vehicle crossover, and you must apply to your local highway authority for it. It is a separate application from any planning permission and the council usually sets the price or approves the contractor.

Before you book: a quick Gateshead checklist

  • Measure the drive roughly and note what is there now, such as lawn, concrete, tarmac or old gravel
  • Check whether your property is a flat, listed, or in an area with an Article 4 Direction, which can affect planning
  • Find out if you need a dropped kerb and contact your highway authority early if so
  • Note any slopes, puddles or areas that stay wet after rain
  • Ask each installer how deep they will dig and what sub-base depth they will lay
