Dropped Kerbs
A vehicular access, sometimes known as a dropped kerb, is
constructed where you want to allow cars access to your
property.
Planning permission is required for dropped kerbs onto all
classified roads (class A, B and C roads) and sometimes on
unclassified roads, for example within a Conservation Area.
If you are unsure of your road's classification, please contact
the Worcestershire Hub on 0845 607 2005 or your local District or
Borough Council's planning department for advice.
If planning permission is required, it is the applicant's
responsibility to obtain the necessary consents.
The A46 is classed as a trunk road and is the responsibility of
the Highways Agency. If you require a vehicle access onto the A46
please contact the Highways Agency on
08457 50 40 30.
If you are not the owner of the property concerned, you should
also approach your landlord for permission.
Vehicular accesses must only be constructed by one of the County
Council's approved contractors. Applicants should be aware that all
accesses will need to be inspected by the County Council, for which
a non-refundable fee of £100 will be payable. This fee covers the
cost of the site inspections and the licence only.
Please note that the applicant is solely responsible for
all costs associated with construction of the access.
