Apply for a dropped kerb

Dropped Kerbs

Approval is required to create or extend a vehicular access to a property (usually by lowering
kerbs at the edge of a road.)

The process involves:

• In urban areas lowering of the kerbs at the edge of the road to allow access to the
  householder's property/driveway
• In more rural areas a section of soft verge may have to be removed and replaced to allow
  access to the householder's property/driveway
• Strengthening of the crossing from your property boundary to the edge of the road
• It may be necessary to move or protect street light columns, railings and bollards and
  any pipes or cables etc belonging to public utilities underneath the crossing
  Approval from the council is not required for crossings on unadopted roads.
