Plan the Alwoodley crossing before the new drive.
A larger parking area inside an Alwoodley frontage does not automatically allow a wider crossing over the pavement. We assess the proposed entrance and help you understand the council process before the driveway layout is finalised.
Send a photograph wide enough to show the house, boundary, pavement and road. Include any walls, trees, lamp posts or other features near the proposed access, along with your full LS17 address.
Space for vehicles and people.
We consider the parking area inside the boundary and the walking route to your front door alongside the crossing. Where you are changing walls or entrance pillars, those items can be planned with the approved access width.
From approved entrance to finished crossing.
- Agree the documentsConfirm permissions, contractor requirements and the construction specification.
- Prepare safelyArrange site protection, check services and excavate for the approved crossing.
- Install and reinstateSet the lowered and transition kerbs, construct the foundation and reinstate the footway.
Any separate planning requirements are checked before work is arranged. Approval remains the council’s decision.
What affects the cost in Alwoodley?
Crossing width, pavement construction, excavation and obstructions affect the quote. Council fees are separate unless expressly included. We set out the agreed scope and any known additional work before you decide.
