Additional costs

We are sorry but cheques are no longer accepted.

You need to familiarise yourself with the rules and standards for vehicular dropped kerbs (see information, before applying for a dropped kerb.)

Measure and assess if your property falls within the rules and standards for dropped kerbs.

When you have all the information on the checklist, you can submit an online application.

The application will be assessed by RIS, usually within 14 days.

The application will be approved or rejected by us.

If rejected, you will receive a full explanation of why this is the case and how to follow up.

If approved, RIS will do a further assessment and provide a quote for the work.

The work must be paid for up front, to ensure the proper arrangements to drop the kerb can be put in place.

Installation of the dropped kerb should be within 6 weeks of payment being received. This is subject to available road space and straightforward traffic management. You will be advised of any delay and the reasoning behind it, should it occur.

You are advised not to start making changes to your garden or frontage before the approval has been granted. When changes to your garden or frontage for off road parking are made, you must match the level and gradient of your parking area to the level and gradient of the rear of the footway (i.e.) where your driveway is to join the public highway. We cannot amend the gradient or level of the footway to match your parking area, in the event that your finished driveway or parking area surface is higher, or lower than the existing footway.
