Guide to Dropped Kerbs

Guidance for those who wish to lower the kerb to provide vehicular access to a property

Derbyshire County Council are responsible for maintaining all roads within the Borough of Erewash.

Regardless of whether or not you need permission from Erewash Borough Council you will need to contact Derbyshire County Council to arrange for an approved contractor to carry out the work. For more information please see the link to their website below.

If the property at which you would like a kerb dropped is on a classified road you will need planning permission from Erewash Borough Council. If the property is on a non-classified road you will not need planning from Erewash Borough Council.

Please note: Derbyshire County Council provide all information regarding classified/non-classified roads. If after following the guidance below you are still unsure as to whether the road in question is classified/non-classified Derbyshire County Council will be able to confirm this for you.
