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.

- if the property is a multi-dwelling (i.e., flats / maisonettes etc)
