Dropped kerbs

Planning permission

Planning permission for a new dropped kerb is not usually required. 

However, it is needed if:

  • The property involved has the frontage directly onto a classified road.
  • The property involved is a listed building.
  • The property involved is anything other than a house for a single-family such as a flat, maisonette, commercial or industrial premises.

If you think your property comes within one of the above classifications and planning permission is required, you should get in touch using the contact details on this page. 

We'll inform you if you do need planning permission and what to do next.

If you decide to go ahead with the construction, you must remove any fences, walls or hedges within the property at the place where the crossing will be located before we can begin construction.
