Vehicle Crossovers for Domestic and Commercial Premises
Installing a vehicle crossover allows you to legally drive over a footway to access your driveway or property. It is worth noting that if you are entering the driveway from a highway then it is legal to cross the footway without a local authority approved dropped kerb. However, driving over a footway without a vehicle crossover can cause damage to your car as well as the surface of the footway and pipes underneath.
When a vehicle crossover is installed correctly, it not only lowers the kerb but strengthens the pavement to avoid any damage being caused to the surface or utilities below. It is essential that you use a professional and approved contractor, to ensure the work is carried out in-line with local authority regulations. In addition to this, there are a range of applications and procedures that need to be adhered to, these alter dependent upon the local authority you are within. Planning permission is also something that needs to be considered. P&D Driveways are approved contractors for East Sussex County Council, equipping us with detailed knowledge of the applications and procedures that need to be adhered to in order to legally install a vehicle crossover within East Sussex.
