Leeds Council: your next step.

Apply to Leeds City Council for the vehicle-crossing inspection first. After initial approval, the contractor must obtain the Section 171 highway licence. We can help with the contractor paperwork; the council decides whether the entrance is acceptable.

Read the council’s crossing guidance

Approval is not guaranteed. Council charges and any utility alterations are separate unless expressly included in your written quote. No highway work starts without the required authorisation.

Plan the driveway and entrance together in Shadwell

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

Dropped kerbs in Shadwell: common questions

How much does a dropped kerb cost in Shadwell?

Crossing width, pavement construction, obstructions and the council’s requirements affect the total. We set out the private driveway scope and any permitted contractor works separately from council fees.

Can you widen an existing dropped kerb?

An extension still needs the highway authority’s agreement. Send photographs and any existing approval so we can discuss the proposed entrance.
