Dropped kerbs with a new drive in Bordon: the local picture
Bordon is a smaller town, and many of its homes have more frontage to work with than city houses, which leaves room for borders and planting.
Planning-sensitive towns and conservation areas are common in the South East, so we check the front-garden rules before quoting.

What you get with our dropped kerbs service
We do not take money for kerb work we cannot legally do. What we do is check whether your property is likely to qualify, help you with the application, coordinate the timing with your new drive, and either price the crossover where the authority allows private contractors or work alongside the authority's own contractor where it does not.
- Eligibility check: visibility, trees, street furniture, frontage depth
- Drive levels set to meet the new kerb line
- Crossover construction where the authority permits our contractor
- Help with the highway authority application and drawings
- Coordination so the drive and crossover are finished together
What the survey covers
- How the new work ties into the paving
- Where water collects now and where it can go
- Access and working space
- Levels of the pavement, kerb and drive
- Ground conditions for any soakaway
Rules for front drives in Bordon
Bordon is in England, so these rules apply:
In England, paving in front of the house that covers more than 5 m² needs planning permission unless it is permeable or drains to a lawn, border or soakaway inside your boundary. Permeable block paving, or standard blocks laid to fall onto a planted strip, avoid the need for permission in most cases.
Flats and maisonettes, listed buildings, and homes covered by an Article 4 direction can have tighter rules, and conservation areas, National Parks and National Landscapes restrict some permitted development.
A dropped kerb needs your local highway authority's approval (usually the county, unitary, metropolitan or London borough council), and a new access onto an A, B or C classified road also needs planning permission.
General guidance, not legal advice. Your survey confirms what applies to your home. See the planning guide.
