LEEDS CITY COUNCIL APPLICATION

Apply for your Roundhay 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.

Plan the Roundhay driveway and crossing together.

If you are replacing a front garden with parking or changing the entrance to an existing Roundhay drive, start with the proposed vehicle access. The private driveway, pavement crossing and drainage all need to work together.

We assess the available parking area, the approach from the road and how the new levels would meet the house and pavement. A driveway quotation can include the private works, while the public crossing remains subject to council approval.

For Roundhay and nearby Oakwood enquiries, provide your full address, approximate entrance width and any council decision or drawings already available.

Set out the driveway levels and water route early.

Before construction, we plan where surface water will go and how the finished driveway meets the approved crossing. Send a photograph of the full frontage and tell us whether the existing access is staying, moving or widening. This helps us separate a straightforward driveway replacement from a proposal that needs a changed vehicle crossing.

Dropped kerb costs in Roundhay.

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 Roundhay

When planning vehicle access in Roundhay, 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 Roundhay postcode and photographs, so the driveway quotation can clearly distinguish work on your property from the highway crossing.

Roundhay dropped kerbs: your questions.

Do I apply for the Roundhay dropped kerb before booking work?

Apply to Leeds City Council for the vehicle-crossing site inspection first. After initial approval, the contractor applies for the Section 171 licence. Highway work must wait until all required approvals are in place.

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.
