Dropped Kerb FAQ
Got a question about installing a dropped kerb to access your new driveway in Bristol?
How long does the process take?
We recommend allowing around 4-6 weeks from submitting the application to arranging an installation date, though timescales can vary.
Do I need planning permission from Bristol City Council?
A dropped kerb requires council approval rather than full planning permission, but this isn’t as daunting as it sounds. We’ll help handle the paperwork and make the process simple and stress free.
Can I park on the dropped kerb immediately?
We recommend parking on your driveway if possible to keep your vehicle secure. If that isn’t possible, you’ll just need to wait a few hours before parking on the kerb.
What if my application is rejected?
If Bristol City Council doesn’t approve your application, don’t worry—it happens from time to time. We’ll advise on alternative solutions and resubmission options.
