Dropped Kerbs in Buckinghamshire: Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a dropped-kerb licence in Buckinghamshire?
Buckinghamshire Council currently charges £520.38 for a domestic vehicular access licence. This is the council licence fee, not the construction price, and it may change.
Do I need a Certificate of Lawfulness first?
Yes. A Certificate of Lawfulness is required before the highway licence application is submitted. The approximate timescale is 12 weeks, and we will help you prepare the correct paperwork.
How long does the council application take?
Buckinghamshire Council states that processing can take up to 28 days, or approximately four weeks when all required documents are supplied. Once granted, the contractor is given a two-week period to complete the works.
Will Irvine Surfacing manage the paperwork?
Yes. We prepare and manage the application administration as part of our service, with no additional Irvine Surfacing administration charge. Council, planning and other third-party fees remain payable separately where applicable.
Can I follow my application?
Yes. Every dropped-kerb customer receives a private Irvine Surfacing application number so they can see the current stage clearly through our exclusive application tracker.
What contractor documents are required?
The licence pack requires operative and supervisor NRSWA accreditation, RAMS, £10 million public-liability insurance, statutory undertaker plans and evidence of CAT-and-Genny locator competence. We coordinate these documents with the installation.
Can you install the driveway at the same time?
Yes. We can provide the complete vehicle-access project, including groundwork, drainage details, kerbs and a tarmac, resin-bound or block-paved driveway finish.
