A crossing across a public footpath or verge for your vehicle to gain access to your property from the highway is known as a dropped kerb, crossover or vehicle crossing.

You will need to make a specific dropped kerb application for a domestic vehicle crossing licence to your local authority through their website.

Don't forget to consider utilities when planning your project.

Building regulations do not generally apply. Work is usually carried out by the local authority.

However, you will need to make sure that any alterations do not make access to the property any less satisfactory than it was before.
