How much does a dropped kerb cost?
Council application charges vary considerably. Construction, planning, drawings and moving utilities or street furniture usually cost extra. The checker separates known, conditional and excluded costs.

Do I need planning permission?
It commonly depends on the road classification, property type, conservation or listed status and local controls. Highway consent and planning permission are separate decisions.
Does the driveway surface need permission?
For a house, front-garden surfacing over 5m² may need planning permission if it is impermeable and does not drain to a permeable area. Check the national driveway-planning guide.
How large must my driveway be?
There is no single English minimum. The checker applies the dimensions published by the relevant authority and flags layouts that need individual assessment.
