Practical answers

Common Redbridge dropped-kerb questions

How much is the Redbridge application?

The known fixed council stage is £830.00. That includes the published legal agreement. Construction, planning and site-specific work are not included.

What parking space is required?

Permeable surfacing, drainage channel and soakaway. Other layout and safety rules still apply, so passing the dimensions alone does not guarantee approval.

Is planning permission needed?

Classified roads, protected properties, flats and commercial premises may require planning permission before the highway application.

How do I apply?

Run the postcode checker first, resolve any warnings, then use the linked official application guidance. The authority will make the final decision after assessing the site.
