Dropped kerbs in Wythenshawe M22
Dropped Kerb Contractors Wythenshawe
Wythenshawe was planned as a garden city, with wide grass verges between many homes and the road. We create dropped kerbs in Wythenshawe that take your car across those verges properly, throughout M22 and M23. Each dropped kerb installation follows what Manchester City Council needs for a vehicle crossing, including the verge section. As dropped kerb contractors we also build the driveway behind, turning a front lawn into parking that works every day.
Our free site survey measures the verge, the footway and the front garden, and notes any trees nearby. We then give you a fixed written quote with no obligation. Our own fully insured team, never sub-contractors, lowers the kerbs, builds the crossing through the verge and lays the driveway behind it, so you are dealing with the same people from start to finish.

Council consent
Dropped Kerb Planning Permission in Wythenshawe
Every dropped kerb in Wythenshawe needs consent from Manchester City Council before anyone drives over the pavement. Planning permission is a separate question, usually only needed for a classified road or a listed building.
Manchester City Council has to consent before you drive over the pavement or verge in Wythenshawe. They think about visibility, street trees, lamp columns, gullies, the grass verge itself, classified roads and conservation areas. A verge crossing usually needs a hard surface through the grass. Some councils build crossings themselves and others allow accredited contractors with consent, and we check which applies.

Local knowledge
Grass Verge Crossings in Woodhouse Park, Newall Green and Peel Hall
Most Wythenshawe homes date from the 1930s to the 1960s, with generous front gardens and grass verges along the road. That makes off-road parking possible, but only once a proper crossing runs through both the verge and the pavement. Trees planted on the verges can decide where an access goes, as can lamp columns. Main roads such as Brownley Road and Hollyhedge Road carry heavier traffic, so visibility is a key concern there, while quieter closes around Woodhouse Park are often more straightforward.

FAQs
FAQs: Dropped Kerbs Wythenshawe
Straight answers to what people ask us most. Anything else, just call.
How much does a dropped kerb cost in Wythenshawe?
Grass verge crossings are the norm in Wythenshawe, so the size of the verge has a big effect on the job. Alongside that, we look at the number of kerbs lowered, the footway width and construction, and covers or services along the line. Council application or inspection fees are separate, and most people also need a new driveway. Call 0161 841 7075 to book a free survey.
How do I apply for a dropped kerb in Wythenshawe?
You apply to Manchester City Council for the crossing. We explain what they usually require, including the details for the verge section, help you prepare the paperwork, and point out anything such as a verge tree or lamp column that could affect the decision. The council decides, and approval cannot be promised. Once given, we build your driveway to line up with the verge crossing.
Do I need planning permission for a dropped kerb?
Highway consent from the council is always needed. Planning permission is a separate question: you usually also need it if the crossing gives access onto a classified road, and listed buildings need extra consent. Manchester City Council confirms what applies to your address.
Is it illegal to park across a dropped kerb?
The Highway Code says you should not park where the kerb has been lowered to help wheelchair and mobility scooter users, and councils with civil parking enforcement can issue a penalty to a vehicle blocking a dropped kerb. A proper crossing to your drive also protects your right to get in and out.
Can I drive over the pavement without a dropped kerb?
You should not. Driving over a full-height kerb damages the kerb, the footway and the services underneath, and the council can take action to stop it or require a proper crossing. Getting consent and having the crossing built correctly is the safe route.
Will you build the driveway behind the dropped kerb?
Yes. Most of our dropped kerb customers want the front garden turned into parking at the same time. We lay block paving, resin or tarmac driveways, with the levels matched to the new crossing.
