Dropped kerbs

We consider applications to lower kerbs outside properties within North Somerset for off-road parking.

You will have to employ a private contractor to carry out the work but you still need to apply to us for permission.

To apply contact our Streets and Open Spaces service on 01934 888 802 and we will send you an application pack.

After receiving your application we will tell you if planning consent is required.

We will then visit the site to see if a dropped kerb is suitable and will visit again during construction to ensure the work meets our specifications.

You should ensure your contractor informs us of their proposed start and finish dates so we can carry out these inspections. If this does not occur we may not be able to approve the work.

We will assume responsibility for maintaining the kerb as long as it meets our standards and your contractor has guaranteed their work for a year.
