How do I get a kerb lowered?
Being able to lower or drop a kerb depends on where you
live.
You need to apply for planning permission
if...
You live on a classified road, i.e. an A, B or C road you will
require planning permission. You will need to submit a full
planning application.
Planning Support can also tell you how much the planning
permission will cost and answer any further questions you
have.
If you are granted permission you will also have to pay to have the
crossing installed.
You do not need planning permission if...
You live on an unclassified road, planning permission is not
required but you will still have to pay for the work to be done.

Note: Pedestrian crossings e.g. to get wheelchairs
on and off the footway do not require planning
permission.
