Request dropped kerb pre-application advice
You can request pre-application advice before applying to:
- install a new dropped kerb
- extend an existing dropped kerb.
We will:
- visit the site where you’d like to install or extend a dropped kerb
- complete all necessary checks (that you’d normally need to do using our checklist)
- tell you if we would approve your application or not
- identify any issues and provide guidance. For example, if you need planning permission or engineering works.

Complete our online form to request pre-application advice.
You will need:
- the property address
- to tell us if there are any utility covers, trees or streetlights at the site
- your contact details
- to pay £160 (this fee is non-refundable).
You can also upload photos of the site where you want to install or extend the dropped kerb.

We’ll write to you to let you know the outcome of our checks.

- we’ll invite you to apply using our short online form

If our pre-application advice shows you cannot install or extend a dropped kerb, we’ll let you know the reasons why.
