 Dropping a kerb - Bobby
We have a dropped kerb at our driveway. Standard tarmac pavement.

We are thinking of extending the driveway width wise so would "need" to drop more of the pavement.

Council website advises I need to pay for a road opening permit of £260 and then the cost of whatever contractor I can find to do the job that meets the council's requirements.

Anyone had this done and know relative costs - will probably be around 3m in length extending an existing dropped kerb.

Or should I just go with a lump of wood beside the kerb? House is in a housing estate so not main road etc.
