Before you apply for a dropped kerb
Before applying, you should review our Highway programme for works to determine if there is any work planned for your street.
There are many factors that can cause our programs to change. The lists are not complete and should be used only as a guide. Fees are non-refundable. You are responsible for all applications and works that you do.
In your dropped kerb application to the highways team, you will need permission from our planning department.
You will need to apply for planning permission.

You can use our adopted road gazetteer for the Nottinghamshire class of roads. The first letter in the road number is called the class. Permission is not required for unclassified roads (U). The gazetteer does NOT include un-adopted roads. Contact the landowner to find out if your street is not listed. Permission is typically granted by the street manager. The Land Registry should confirm who owns the land.
