Dropped kerbs in Alderley Edge SK9
Dropped Kerb Contractors Alderley Edge
The Edge brings slopes, sandstone and impressive gateways, and a crossing has to suit all three. We build dropped kerbs in Alderley Edge and Nether Alderley, offering dropped kerb installation in Alderley Edge as part of a complete driveway project. Cheshire East Council looks after vehicle crossings for the village, and we explain what they consider. Our dropped kerb contractors carry on past the pavement, through the gates and up to the house.
We start with a free site survey, studying the kerb, the gradient and the gateway together. A fixed written quote follows, with no obligation. All of the work is done by our own fully insured team without sub-contractors, and once the crossing is in we lay the driveway behind it, using materials from Brett, Tobermore and The Resin Mill, all of whom have approved us.

Council consent
Dropped Kerb Planning Permission in Alderley Edge
Every dropped kerb in Alderley Edge 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.
Before a crossing in Alderley Edge can be used, Cheshire East Council has to give consent. They assess visibility for drivers and pedestrians, nearby street trees, lamp columns and gullies, any grass verge, and whether the road is classified. The village has a conservation area, which can add steps for walls and gateways. Councils vary on who builds the crossing, and we confirm which applies on your road.

Local knowledge
Dropped Kerbs on Macclesfield Road, Congleton Road and London Road
Alderley Edge runs from the busy London Road shops up towards the wooded Edge itself, with the steepest plots on the higher ground off Macclesfield Road. Many large homes sit behind sandstone walls with gated entrances, and moving or widening an opening needs care inside the conservation area. Roads leading out of the village often have verges and mature trees at the kerb. London Road is part of the A34, so visibility and traffic weigh heavily for homes along it.

FAQs
FAQs: Dropped Kerbs Alderley Edge
Straight answers to what people ask us most. Anything else, just call.
How much does a dropped kerb cost in Alderley Edge?
Several things decide the price in Alderley Edge: how many kerbs are lowered, the width and construction of the footway, any verge or tree roots near the line, and services or covers that need adjusting. Council application or inspection fees are separate, and the driveway behind is priced on its own. Call 01625 365395 to book a free survey with us.
How do I apply for a dropped kerb in Alderley Edge?
Apply to Cheshire East Council for the vehicle crossing. We explain the information they usually request, help you prepare it, and advise on whether walls or gates in the conservation area may need their own permission. The council makes the decision, so approval can never be promised. Once you have it, we build the driveway and any new gateway to match the agreed 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. 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.
