Fully Compliant Kerb Drops for Driveway Access
Need a professional, council-approved dropped kerb installation? MD Paving are trusted dropped crossing contractors serving Leeds, Harrogate, Wetherby, York and throughout Yorkshire – offering fully compliant services for residential vehicle access.
We’re officially approved by local councils to carry out dropped kerbs and vehicle access crossings, ensuring your installation meets all legal and safety requirements. Whether you’re creating a new driveway or formalising access to your existing one, we’ll guide you through the process with minimal fuss.
Why Council Approval Matters
Not all driveway contractors are authorised to install dropped kerbs. Councils across Yorkshire require that any residential dropped kerb or driveway access point meets specific standards, and must be carried out by a recognised contractor on their approved list.
Using a non-approved installer can lead to:
• Rejected planning permission
• Costly removal and rework
• Damage to public footpaths or utilities
• Fines or enforcement action
Choosing MD Paving ensures everything is done by the book – first time.
What’s the Council Process?
Here’s a quick overview of how it works:
1. Apply for Permission
Homeowners must apply to their local council for dropped kerb approval. We can advise you on the correct form and process for Leeds City Council, City of York, or other relevant authorities.
2. Site Inspection
The council may inspect your property to assess suitability – including location, visibility, and proximity to street features.
3. Approval & Specifications
Once approved, you’ll receive guidelines (e.g. kerb height, pavement depth, materials). Only approved contractors – like MD Paving – are permitted to carry out the work.
4. Installation
We schedule and complete the dropped crossing installation to council standards, with minimal disruption to your property or the footpath.
