Applying to have a dropped kerb or crossover

To apply to have a dropped kerb or crossover applied to your driveway you need to:

• confirm with us if your works will require planning permission, and then;
• apply to Surrey County Council for a licence. They are the local highway authority and will consider highway safety, driveway design and explain any contractual issues.

Planning permission

To confirm if you need planning permission:

• Email Planning.applications@reigate-banstead.gov.uk with details of your request, including your address and nature of the works and we can advise whether planning permission is required. 
  • The cost for this is £35  and payment should be made on our online payments form whereby you can choose to create a 'My Reigate&Banstead' account or simply choose the 'Continue without making an account' option. This fee is non refundable.
• If planning permission is required we will advise you accordingly and a planning application should be made via the planning portal.
