Do You Have
Council Approval?
Yes, I Have An Approval Letter
We specialise in constructing Coventry City Council approved dropped crossings, also known as vehicle crossovers.
Your approval letter contains the required details such as measurements, layout, and materials, which we use to prepare an accurate estimate.
No, I Need To Apply
If you have not yet applied, you must first obtain approval from Coventry City Council before any works can be carried out.
Important
We can only quote for dropped crossing works once you have received council approval. This is a legal requirement under the Highways Act.
Help With Getting Council Approval
Applying for a dropped crossing can be confusing. When assessing a dropped kerb application, your city council considers driveway size, highway safety, visibility, planning requirements and any obstacles near the proposed crossing.
We can help you understand the requirements, identify possible issues and prepare the information you may need before submitting your council dropped crossing approval application. This provides practical help applying for a dropped kerb in your area without making the final decision.
Is Your Property Likely to Qualify?
Enough Parking Space - Your driveway will normally need a minimum depth of 4.75 metres so that a vehicle can park without overhanging the pavement.
Suitable Driveway Width - The minimum width is normally 2.75 metres for one vehicle space or 4.5 metres for two vehicle spaces.
Safe Access and Visibility - The council will assess visibility, road width, traffic levels and whether vehicles can enter and leave the property safely.
Suitable Crossing Location - Applications may be affected if the proposed crossing is close to a junction, roundabout, bus stop, pedestrian crossing, traffic signals or other high-risk location.
No Major Obstacles - Trees, grass verges, streetlights, drainage, road signs, parking restrictions and utility equipment can affect approval, cost and timescales.
How We Can Help
Initial Property Review - We can review photographs, measurements and the proposed crossing location to help identify obvious issues before you apply.
Driveway Measurement Guidance - We can help you check the available driveway depth, width and proposed access position against the council’s stated requirements.
Planning Requirement Guidance - We can help identify situations where planning permission may be required before the dropped crossing application can be assessed.
Preparing for the Application - We can explain the likely process and help you gather the photographs, measurements and property information required to move forward.
Planning Permission May Be Required
Planning permission may be needed for certain properties and locations, including listed buildings, conservation areas, flats, some HMOs, classified roads, commercial properties and some driveways using non-permeable surfacing.
Your council will make the final decision on every dropped crossing application. Our role is to help you understand the requirements and prepare as thoroughly as possible. There is no guarantee of approval and the company does not make the final decision.
Not Sure Whether Your Property Is Suitable?
Send us a few photographs and basic measurements and the team will help you understand the next steps with your dropped kerb application.
