Considering a dropped kerb in Strood? A&A Construction & Surfacing Ltd provides driveway, groundworks and vehicle crossover installation services, with over 25 years of practical experience. We can help you understand the construction work involved while you check the relevant council requirements.

Whether you are creating off-road parking or improving access to an existing driveway, it is important to address the required permissions before any changes are made to the public highway. We work across Strood and nearby communities.

Dropped Kerb Application Requirements

Applying for a dropped kerb in Strood normally involves obtaining permission from the relevant highway authority before any work takes place on the public footway or verge.

Application requirements can include property details, a site plan and information about the proposed access. The authority will confirm the documents and process applicable to your address.

Who Handles Dropped Kerb Applications?

For properties in Strood, the relevant highway authority is Medway Council. Its application procedure should be checked directly before submitting information or paying a fee.

Planning permission may also be required in certain circumstances. A highway crossover approval and a planning decision are separate matters.

Preparing Your Application

Before applying, gather details of the property, existing access, intended parking area and any features along the pavement. Clear information can help the council assess the proposal.

We can discuss the proposed construction and driveway works, but you should confirm the exact application requirements and submission route with the council.

New and Replacement Vehicle Crossovers

An application might relate to a completely new crossover or an alteration to an existing one. The applicable assessment will depend on the location and the nature of the change.

Where a driveway also needs to be built or extended, we can discuss the related groundworks and surfacing.

What Can Affect Approval?

The authority may consider pedestrian safety, visibility, nearby junctions, street trees, lighting columns and the space available for off-road parking.

Approval cannot be guaranteed. It is sensible to establish the position before paying for major driveway works or arranging construction.

Application Decisions and Next Steps

If permission is granted, read the conditions carefully. There may be requirements relating to the contractor, specifications, inspections or the timing of works.

We can discuss the physical crossover installation once you have the relevant approval and understand any conditions imposed by the authority.

Driveway Drainage and Access

Your proposed driveway and vehicle access should be considered together. Drainage, levels and the available parking area may affect the practical design.

Our driveway and groundwork services can incorporate appropriate site preparation and drainage where required.

Approved Dropped Kerb Construction

Once the necessary permissions have been obtained, the next stage is arranging the authorised crossover works using a contractor who meets the relevant authority requirements.

A&A Construction & Surfacing undertakes dropped kerb works and can discuss suitability, scheduling and the scope of the physical installation.
