Important: Customer Services phone line not working
Our main switchboard (020 8937 1234) is not working. This is affecting calls made during the hours of 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday. We are working hard to fix the problem. In the meantime, there are a number of other ways you can contact us. Thank you for your patience. We are sorry for any inconvenience caused.
Vehicle crossings allow vehicles to cross over the pavement to meet the road from private property and often need the kerb to be lowered and the pavement strengthened.
We provide a fee-paying service for the construction of vehicle crossings and dropped kerbs for off street parking.
Before you apply
There is a non-refundable £126 administration fee for providing each estimate.
Completed application forms need to be with sent with the application fee.
Unless the location doesn't require planning permission and providing the application complies with our policy, a highway engineer will assess whether the location of the proposed crossing is suitable and check compliance. Where it is suitable, a quotation for installing the crossing will be sent to the applicant.
Once full payment has been received, the application will be added to our programme of works. Crossovers are usually constructed within six weeks.
Please note, our contractors are the only ones approved to carry out this work. It is an offence for any other persons to do this work without the council’s permission.
Planning permission will be required for applications from householders that wish to pave their driveway with a waterproof material exceeding 5m sq or where surface water will not drain into the front garden.
