A wider entrance starts with the crossing.
If parking on your Horsforth driveway is awkward, moving a gate or widening the paving inside the boundary may not be enough. We assess how the proposed entrance lines up with the existing vehicle crossing and the public footway.
Our Horsforth frontage work includes driveway levels, pillars and fencing. That experience helps us plan the private entrance alongside the crossing, while keeping the council’s highway requirements clear.
For enquiries across Horsforth and towards Cookridge, Rawdon or Rodley, include the exact address and a photograph taken from the opposite side of the road where safe.

An existing crossing does not automatically authorise an extension. Discuss the proposed width with Leeds City Council and obtain the required approval before highway work starts. At the site visit, we look at the turning approach, transition kerbs, boundary position and any changes in level.
