Planning and dropped kerbs by council
A front driveway needs no planning permission if it is permeable or drains to your own lawn or border; more than 5m² of impermeable surface draining to the road does (Planning Portal guidance). In the Stamford conservation area the Article 4 direction brings any new road-facing hard surface under planning control. A new or wider entrance also needs a dropped kerb, and the rules depend on the highway authority.
| Highway authority | Towns | Dropped kerb fee | Who builds it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rutland County Council | Oakham, Uppingham, Ketton, Empingham, Cottesmore, Greetham, Langham, Whissendine, Ryhall, Edith Weston | £194 for the vehicle access permit | an accredited contractor under the council's permit (we can do it) |
| Lincolnshire County Council | Stamford | £300 for the council to build it, or £470 for a contractor | the county council, or an accredited contractor (we can do it) |
| Leicestershire County Council | Market Harborough, Great Bowden | £300 to apply (plus £240 if a contractor builds it) | the county council, or an accredited contractor (we can do it) |
| North Northamptonshire Council | Corby, Kettering, Weldon | £333 for the licence and inspection | an approved contractor (we can do it) |
Fees from each council's website, checked October 2026. See dropped kerbs for the process in each town.
“Really pleased with my new driveway. Beautifully finished, friendly professional workmen, would definitely recommend and will be using them again for the garden once other renovations complete.”
