Dropped kerbs in Knutsford WA16
Dropped Kerb Contractors Knutsford
Knutsford streets range from narrow town roads to leafy avenues with wide verges, and every crossing needs thought. We build dropped kerbs in Knutsford and the nearby WA16 villages, pairing dropped kerb installation with the new drive so the two meet properly at the boundary. Cheshire East Council oversees vehicle crossings in the town. We are dropped kerb contractors who know the patch, from homes near Knutsford Heath to the family estates in Over Knutsford.
Book a free site survey and we will look at the kerb, the footway, any verge and the levels into your property. A fixed written quote follows, with no obligation to go ahead. One fully insured team, our own and never sub-contractors, lowers the kerbs and lays the driveway behind the crossing, then tidies the pavement properly before we leave the street.

Council consent
Dropped Kerb Planning Permission in Knutsford
Every dropped kerb in Knutsford needs consent from Cheshire East Council before anyone drives over the pavement. Planning permission is a separate question, usually only needed for a classified road or a listed building.
In Knutsford, Cheshire East Council needs to consent before a crossing over the pavement can be used. They think about visibility along the road, street trees and lamp columns, gullies, grass verges, whether the road is a classified A or B route, and conservation status, which matters around the old town centre. Who builds the crossing depends on the council, so we check what applies on your street.

Local knowledge
Dropped Kerbs Near Knutsford Heath, Mobberley Road and Tabley Road
Knutsford has older streets around King Street and Princess Street that are tight and mostly terraced, with little or no frontage. By contrast, the Edwardian and later houses along Legh Road and Mobberley Road sit on bigger plots with verges and established trees. The A50 runs through the town, and traffic on main routes makes visibility at any new access important. Newer estates in Over Knutsford usually have wider footways. Close to the Heath and the old town, conservation considerations shape what can change at the boundary.

FAQs
FAQs: Dropped Kerbs Knutsford
Straight answers to what people ask us most. Anything else, just call.
How much does a dropped kerb cost in Knutsford?
Knutsford dropped kerb prices depend on the number of kerbs lowered, the footway width and build-up, any verge crossing and what utilities or covers sit underneath. Any application or inspection fee from Cheshire East Council is extra, and so is the driveway behind it. Phone 01565 849348 to book a free survey and a fixed quote.
How do I apply for a dropped kerb in Knutsford?
Your application goes to Cheshire East Council. We explain what they normally require, help you assemble it and point out anything that might need extra discussion, such as a tree or a verge. Approval is their call, and we never suggest otherwise. Once they agree, we set out and build your new driveway to meet the crossing they have approved.
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. Cheshire East 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.
