Dropped Kerbs and Crossovers

The Highways and Engineering Team are currently carrying out a programme to drop all kerbs at the corners of all paths in Hackney.

In order to ensure that vehicle crossings are properly constructed, all domestic vehicle crossings will be built by Highways Maintenance Operations (H.M.O.) who are part of the Council. They will deal with the provision of estimates and receive payments before the work is carried out.

Legal considerations

Planning permission is not usually required for such work, but will be if:

• the property involved has the frontage directly on to a classified road.
• the property involved is a listed building.
• the property involved is other than a house for a single family, e.g. flat, maisonette, commercial or industrial premises.
