Vehicle accesses (dropped kerb)

How do I get a vehicle access (dropped kerb) at my property?

A vehicle access (also known as dropped kerb, pavement/verge crossing) is required when you want to take a vehicle across the verge or footpath to access your property.

We can do the work on your behalf or you can use your own contractor. Please note you may need planning permission if your road is a classified road.

If you would like us to complete the work, a fee of £25 will be payable for an estimate which will be deducted from the final cost. We will arrange for a site meeting to agree the location of the proposed access and provide an estimate for the costs of the work. This must be paid in full before we start.

If you would like your own contractor to do the work, your contractor must carry out the works to our specification, have £5,000,000 worth of public liability insurance and sign and guard the works to national requirements. They will need to obtain a licence from us before any work takes place at a cost of £100. 

In either case you will need to contact us on 01325 405222 or email [email protected].

What will it cost to construct a vehicle crossing?

Each access will be unique so there is no average price; it will be dependent on many factors.

If you do the work on my behalf, how long will it take?

It could take anything up to four months. This is because we have to contact all of the public utility companies to check that there are no underground cables or pipes where the works are. 

Vehicle accesses at council properties

If you live in a council property you will need to write a letter to housing. Our budget is £2,000 for each request. If the quote is higher we will give you the option to pay the difference, if you do not wish to do this the request will be cancelled.

The cost for a pavement crossing is £2.13 and hardstanding is £2.12 each. The charge(s) will be added to your rent account and will be a permanent charge not covered by housing benefits.
