LEEDS CITY COUNCIL

Apply for your Wetherby crossing first.

Start with the council’s vehicle-crossing application and site inspection. After initial approval, the contractor applies for the Section 171 licence. We can help you through the paperwork.

Apply for dropped kerb permission

For driveway access, choose a vehicular crossing site inspection. Read the council’s guidance and current fees before applying.

A Wetherby entrance that works with the driveway.

Changing the parking layout inside your boundary may also mean changing the vehicle crossing. We assess your Wetherby entrance, the usable parking space and how the driveway meets the pavement before setting out the proposed work.

Wetherby and nearby villages can sit close to council boundaries. Send the full property address so the correct highway authority is confirmed before you apply. For a Wetherby address under Leeds City Council, use its vehicle-crossing guidance below.

Widening the drive and widening the crossing.

A wider paved frontage does not automatically mean vehicles can cross a wider section of pavement. We look at the entrance width, walls, footway and any visible street furniture so the driveway design can follow the approved crossing.

From approved entrance to finished crossing.

  2. Prepare safelyArrange site protection, check services and excavate for the approved crossing.
  3. 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 Wetherby?

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.

Plan the driveway and entrance together in Wetherby

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

Wetherby: before we start.

Which council should I contact for a Wetherby dropped kerb?

For addresses within Leeds City Council’s area, start with its vehicle-crossing application. If you are in a surrounding village or near a boundary, send us the full address so the responsible highway authority can be confirmed.

Can you help with the application?

Yes. After the initial vehicle-crossing approval, we can prepare the contractor’s Section 171 application and provide our relevant street works and insurance documents.

Can I book highway work before permission arrives?

Wait until the required approvals and contractor paperwork are confirmed. An application is not permission to start work.
