LEEDS CITY COUNCIL APPLICATION

Apply for your Adel dropped kerb first.

The first step is the council’s vehicle-crossing application and site inspection. Initial approval is followed by the contractor’s Section 171 licence application. We can help you understand the process; approval is the council’s decision.

Apply for dropped kerb permission

Opens the Leeds City Council form in a new tab. For driveway access, request a vehicular crossing site inspection. Read the council’s guidance and current fees before applying.

Look beyond the kerb at your Adel entrance.

The space between the road and your driveway may include more than pavement. Where there is a verge, a tree or an obstruction, the proposed crossing needs careful assessment before you commit to driveway work.

At an Adel site visit, we look at the full route into the property, the boundary position and the room available for parking. We can plan the private driveway and garden edges alongside the crossing, subject to the council’s decision.

Include the exact Adel address and any previous council correspondence. A wide photograph showing the verge, trees and pavement is more useful than a close-up of the kerb alone.

Trees, verges and classified-road access.

Leeds City Council advises applicants to seek forestry advice if a tree obstructs the proposed crossing. Its guidance also calls for planning approval where access is from an A, B or C classified road, or crosses non-highway land. We help you identify questions to raise; the council confirms the permissions needed for your address.

Dropped kerb costs in Adel.

The quote depends on crossing width, pavement construction, excavation, reinstatement and any obstructions. Council inspection and licence fees are separate from construction costs unless expressly included in your quote. We explain the scope and any known additional work before you decide.

Plan the driveway and entrance together in Adel

When planning vehicle access in Adel, consider the parking space on your property as well as the pavement crossing. Show us the boundary, entrance, front-door access and the driveway you want to create or widen. This helps us discuss the private driveway layout, drainage and your choice of tarmac or block paving.

Follow the council guidance on this page for the crossing itself. Send any application or approval information with your Adel postcode and photographs, so the driveway quotation can clearly distinguish work on your property from the highway crossing.

Adel dropped kerbs: your questions.

Can you tell me whether my Adel entrance will be approved?

We can assess the proposal and help with information for the application, but only the council can decide. Trees, visibility, land ownership and the available parking space can all need consideration.

Can you handle the Section 171 application?

Yes. After initial vehicle-crossing approval, we can prepare and submit the contractor application, provide our relevant street works and insurance documents, and liaise with Leeds City Council.

Does sending the application mean permission is granted?

No. The council assesses the proposal and may ask for further information or permissions. Wait for the required approvals before arranging highway work.
