What is included?
A dropped kerb, also called a vehicle crossover, is a section of lowered kerb with a strengthened footway behind it so a car can cross the pavement to reach a drive. It is part of the public highway, so it needs the highway authority's permission and has to be built to their specification, usually by a contractor they approve.
Wet winters in Northern Ireland make falls, edge restraints and full joints especially important.
- Crossover construction where the authority permits our contractor
- Eligibility check: visibility, trees, street furniture, frontage depth
- Help with the highway authority application and drawings
- Drive levels set to meet the new kerb line
- Coordination so the drive and crossover are finished together
What the survey covers
- Load ratings needed for covers and gratings
- Access and working space
- Ground conditions for any soakaway
- Buried services near the crossing or channel
- Where water collects now and where it can go
Rules for front drives in County Fermanagh
In Northern Ireland, a hard surface between the front of the house and the road that covers or replaces more than 5 m² must be porous or permeable, or drain to a permeable area within the property, to be permitted development.
Hard surfaces within the grounds of a listed building need listed building consent. Planning is handled by your district council, so check with its planning office if you are unsure.
Dropped kerbs in Northern Ireland are approved by DfI Roads (the Department for Infrastructure), not the council; check planning separately with the council.
General guidance, not legal advice. Your survey confirms what applies to your home. See the planning guide.
