Planning permission for a dropped kerb

Information on receiving planning permission for a vehicular dropped kerb.

Before we can proceed with your application for a dropped kerb, there are several considerations.

We'll need evidence of your planning approval before we can proceed with any application.

Road classification

Firstly, if your road is designated as a classified road (A, B, or C classification) then you will need planning permission from the relevant District Council.

If you're unsure whether your road is classified, you can check online at:

Then click the relevant District link to access the list of roads which are listed alphabetically.

Other planning requirements

Other things that need planning permission before you apply:

  • if you intend to make a change greater than 5 square metres to your front garden to accommodate a vehicle that involves changing the surface (for example removing a lawn, or other permeable surface and replacing it)
  • if the property is a multi-dwelling (i.e., flats / maisonettes etc)
  • if the property is in a conservation area
  • if the property is in a listed building
