Apply for a dropped kerb

Get permission to lower the kerb so you can drive onto your property.

You need our permission to drive over the pavement to park on your property. We build the dropped kerb for you.

Check if you can have one

Your front garden must be at least 4.8 metres deep, so a car does not stick out over the pavement. You may also need planning permission if your home is on a main road, a listed building or a flat.

What it costs

An application costs £150. If we approve it, we'll give you a quote for building the dropped kerb. Most cost between £1,200 and £2,500.
