Dropped kerbs in Hazel Grove SK7
Dropped Kerb Contractors Hazel Grove
Living on or near the A6 makes pulling off the road safely a priority, and dropped kerbs in Hazel Grove make that far easier. Across SK7 we provide dropped kerb installation alongside full driveways, following the vehicle crossing process run by Stockport Council. As dropped kerb contractors we build the parking area too, for homes from Torkington to Norbury and along the main road itself.
We carry out a free site survey to look at the kerb, the passing traffic and the space behind your boundary. A fixed written quote follows, with no obligation. Our own fully insured team, never sub-contractors, does every stage, from cutting out the old kerbs to laying the driveway behind the crossing in a surface that suits your home.

Council consent
Dropped Kerb Planning Permission in Hazel Grove
Every dropped kerb in Hazel Grove needs consent from Stockport Council before anyone drives over the pavement. Planning permission is a separate question, usually only needed for a classified road or a listed building.
Stockport Council has to agree to a vehicle crossing before you drive over a Hazel Grove footway. They examine visibility for traffic and pedestrians, nearby lamp columns, street trees and gullies, any grass verge, and whether the road is classified, as the A6 is. Conservation areas can add questions. Some councils build the crossing and others let accredited contractors with consent, and we find out for your road.

Local knowledge
Kerb Crossings Off London Road, Torkington Road and Macclesfield Road
Hazel Grove stretches along the A6, known here as London Road, with interwar semis close to the main road and postwar estates spreading out towards Torkington and Norbury. Homes on the main road face heavy traffic, so visibility and turning space are vital, and planning permission can be involved on classified roads. Estates off Torkington Road often have grass verges and trees to work around. Near Hazel Grove station, commuter parking adds to the pressure on kerbside space.

FAQs
FAQs: Dropped Kerbs Hazel Grove
Straight answers to what people ask us most. Anything else, just call.
How much does a dropped kerb cost in Hazel Grove?
Homes on the A6 can face extra requirements, which is one reason Hazel Grove prices vary. The rest comes down to the number of kerbs lowered, the footway's width and construction, any grass verge, and covers or utilities that need adjusting. Council fees for applying or inspecting are separate, as is the driveway behind. Call 0161 841 7075 to arrange a free survey.
How do I apply for a dropped kerb in Hazel Grove?
You apply to Stockport Council for the crossing, and on the A6 it is worth asking early whether planning permission is also needed. We explain what they usually require, help you get the paperwork ready and flag anything at the kerb that might be questioned. Approval is not guaranteed. When it is given, we build the driveway to line up with the 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. Stockport 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.
