Drop Kerb Information

The Need To Know

    

Conditions to be met

Where existing dropped kerbs within the applicant's street or locality do not meet this guidance, they will not be considered as a precedent for future applications. 

  1. If you are a tenant then Oxfordshire County Council will require written confirmation from the owner of the property that they are happy for you to apply for an access to their property.
  2. All highway trees within five metres of the proposed access must be displayed on the sketch plan of the proposed access. Crossings too close to existing highway trees will not be approved.
  3. A crossing will not be approved within 15 metres of a junction.
  4. A crossing will not be approved, or an existing crossing to be widened, so that it covers the full width of your property unless planning regulations require you to provide a number of dropped kerbs which would require you to drop the full width.
  5. Your application will not be approved unless you are able to provide a suitable parking area within your property. This must be at least 5m      deep, measured from the front of your house to the boundary of the property, and at least 2.5m wide for a standard car. There must be at least 1.2m width for unfettered access to and from the front door and for emergency access.
  6. Separate “in and out” crossings are not permitted. If you have vehicle access to the front and rear of your property crossings at each frontage may also be allowed, provided it is not possible to drive from one to the other through the property. Please contact us for advice in these circumstances.
  7. If your proposal to create a new access or extend an existing one encroaches onto your neighbour’s property line you must enclose written confirmation from the owner confirming they are happy with your proposals.
