To get your vehicle from the road and onto your drive you will need a properly constructed 'vehicular crossing', also known as a 'dropped kerb'. This is to prevent damage to the pavement and/or verge and also protects underground pipes and cables. 

Planning permission

If you want a dropped kerb outside your property you will need our planning approval. You may also need to get planning permission from your local district council.

Who can install a dropped kerb

You may employ a contractor of your choice to carry out these works, subject to them meeting certain requirements. Your contractor will need to apply to Nottinghamshire County Council for a permit to alter the highway outside your property and we will inspect the work to ensure that it meets our specification..

How to get the work done
