Installation of dropped kerbs improves property access. Level access is easier on vehicles or caravans to be stored on the driveway, with less chance of damage caused by scrapes and bumps. Ease of access is also attractive to anyone looking to purchase a property. Dropped kerbs mean you can install a driveway to your home which counts towards savings on car insurance while increasing your property value by up to 10%.
You need to have planning permission if you live on a classified road. The easiest way to find out is to send an email to your local planning permission office with your address and they will respond telling you whether it is needed or not.
