How to apply to drop a kerb, create or alter an access
Oxfordshire County Council are the highways authority responsible for permitting the construction or alteration of dropped kerbs. Their application form and guidance are available on the Oxfordshire County Council website.
Where planning permission is required to construct a new access, or modify an existing access, you will need to obtain this from us before you apply to Oxfordshire County Council.
We provide a dropped kerb enquiry service that will confirm whether planning permission is required or not. If you would like to use this, please download and complete the form below. You’ll also need to provide a completed sketch plan. Then email your submission to registration@southandvale.gov.uk.
This is not an official planning application and costs £117.00 including VAT. Once we’ve processed the form and information, we will contact you to request the fee. Then you will receive an official acknowledgement letter from the planning officer assigned to your enquiry informing you of the next steps.
We aim to get a response to you within 20 working days of receiving all the necessary paperwork and fee.
If our response advises that planning permission is not required, this can be used as the confirmation in writing for your application to Oxfordshire County Council.
If you want a legally binding response, you will need to apply for a Lawful Development Certificate, although this is not a requirement for your application to Oxfordshire County Council.
