Dropped kerb - vehicular access
Please ensure you read this information with Highways advice, who will need to give separate consent for any works.
What is a dropped kerb?
A dropped kerb allows vehicles to cross the pavement or footway to and from a driveway.
A standard width crossing is 2.75m at the property boundary and 4.5m at the kerb edge.
Your front garden will need to be a minimum of 4.0 metres deep at its shortest point by 2.4 metres wide, and set out at 90 degrees to the carriageway.
