Dropped kerb - vehicular crossing in Mansfield
You can apply for a crossing that permits you to cross a footpath with a vehicle in order to gain access to the highway or road. You must own the property. The work will be done by you at your expense. Before any work is done, you need to get permission from us.
Before you apply for a dropped kerb
Before you submit your application, please check the Highway programme. It will show you if there are any plans for your street.
You should not use these lists as a guideline, as they can be changed for many reasons. Fees are non-refundable. You are responsible for all applications and works that you do.
Dropped kerb applications to highways teams must include permission from our planning division.
If you need planning permission,
- The location of your dropped kerb will be on a road that is classified as A, C or B.
The Nottinghamshire adopted road gazetteer can help you locate the class of Nottinghamshire adopted roads. The first letter of the number is the class of road. Permission is not required for unclassified roads (U). The gazetteer doesn’t show un-adopted or private roads. Contact the landowner to find out if your street is not listed. Permission is usually granted by the street manager or developer. The Land Registry should confirm who owns the land.
- Your property is in a conservation or listed building.
- If you are unsure, please check out the conservation areas of Nottinghamshire
- Any surface water that runs off your new driveway drains off your property
- Your property is more than a residence for one family. Flats, maisonettes, and industrial properties are all acceptable.
It is possible to apply under the ‘permitted growth’ category, but it is best to consult our planning staff.
The cost of planning consents will depend on the complexity and location.
