Dropped kerbs in Poynton SK12
Dropped Kerb Contractors Poynton
Poynton's post-war estates were designed with garages, but not every home ended up with a crossing to match. We construct dropped kerbs in Poynton and Higher Poynton, and our dropped kerb installation is planned around the guidance from Cheshire East Council. Plenty of dropped kerb contractors cover SK12. What sets us apart is that we also build the driveway behind, so the access, the parking and the run up to the garage are finished together.
A free site survey lets us check the pavement, the verge and the fall from the road to your garage. You receive a fixed written quote with no obligation. Our own fully insured crew, never sub-contractors, carries out every stage, from lowering the kerbs to laying the new driveway behind the crossing in block paving, resin or tarmac.

Council consent
Dropped Kerb Planning Permission in Poynton
Every dropped kerb in Poynton 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.
A crossing over a Poynton footway needs consent from Cheshire East Council before a car uses it. Their checks include visibility, street trees, lamp columns, gullies and grass verges, plus whether the road is classified, as London Road is. Conservation areas can add more to think about. Some councils build crossings themselves and others allow accredited contractors with consent, and we confirm which route applies to your road.

Local knowledge
Vehicle Crossings Off Park Lane, Towers Road and London Road North
Poynton grew from its coal mining past into a busy commuter village, and its 1960s and 1970s estates make up much of the housing today. Many of those roads have grass verges between pavement and carriageway, which changes how the crossing is built. London Road North and South form part of the A523, so homes on or near it face more traffic to consider. Around Poynton Pool and Park Lane, mature trees are common. Higher Poynton is more rural, with narrower lanes and few footways.

FAQs
FAQs: Dropped Kerbs Poynton
Straight answers to what people ask us most. Anything else, just call.
How much does a dropped kerb cost in Poynton?
A Poynton dropped kerb is priced on how many kerbs are lowered, how wide the footway is and how it was built, any verge, and any utility covers or services along the line. Council fees for application or inspection are separate, as is the new driveway behind the crossing. Call 01625 365403 to book a free survey with no obligation.
How do I apply for a dropped kerb in Poynton?
Applications are made to Cheshire East Council. We explain what they usually expect, help you prepare drawings and photos, and point out anything on the verge or pavement that might be questioned. The council decides, and approval is never guaranteed. Once you have consent, we plan the driveway so it lines up with the crossing and falls away from your garage door.
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.
