If you want to drop the kerb outside your home to create a driveway you need permission from the council before the work can be done.

Dropping a kerb involves lowering the kerbstones and strengthening the pavement so a vehicle can be driven across.

Before you apply for a dropped kerb, please read the terms and conditions.

Please note that due to staff leave and the Christmas holiday period any applications made in December; Inspections are likely to be after the Christmas break, our inspectors will be in touch to arrange a visit as soon as possible.

Our contractors are now fully booked with installations until they break up 19/12/25 – we will be back installing dropped kerbs week commencing 5th January 2026, if you have made a payment please bear with us.
