Christmas opening times 2024: We are closed to all but essential services over the Christmas period. You can still use our online services to report, apply and pay 24/7.
Request a dropped kerb
If you want to drop a kerb to make it easier for vehicles to access your site (for example home, business), you need our permission first.
Cost
We charge £120 for domestic applications and £230 for light industrial applications.
If the location of the proposed dropped kerb is on a classified road, in a conservation area or for a listed building you'll first need planning permission. Find out how to apply for planning permission.
Apply for a dropped kerb
To apply for a dropped kerb, you'll need to fill out the domestic vehicular crossing application form.
Our current turnaround time for applications is around 10 weeks.
We can only take online payments and applications for vehicle crossing requests.
Doing the work
If we give permission, you should arrange for a qualified highway contractor to drop the kerb.
All works are carried out at your own expense.
Highway contractors must have Street Works qualifications and £2 million public liability insurance.
Request a copy of the certificate of permission
Copies of previously granted permission can be provided for a fee of £40. To request a copy email us at highways_dc@sheffield.gov.uk.
