Be warned that a contractor needs to meet the third party insurance coverage requirements for the local authority for working on a highway. 20 years ago the cover required was greatly in excess of the cover held by most builders. It was cheaper to get the council to do the work.
Some local authorities may be more demanding than others at looking into the Building Regs requirements for the increased area of hardstanding and the effective reduction in the on street parking capacity. Some areas have banned the continued parking in the front gardens of properties where the dropped kerbs have been carried out without correct permissions. (with the threat of prosecution).
