A separate application to the local highways authority is required for any new or widened dropped kerb, regardless of the driveway surface. Your Pontardawe local authority has its own process and timeline for dropped kerb approvals, and experienced local Driveway Specialists will be familiar with this. Starting the dropped kerb application early is advisable as processing times vary.

Drainage Complexity and Driveway Cost in Pontardawe
Managing surface water drainage is an integral part of driveway installation in Pontardawe and its cost depends on the complexity of what is required. A simple cross-fall to an adjacent border or lawn requires minimal additional work. Channel drainage across the front of the driveway, connection to an existing surface water drain or construction of a soakaway are progressively more involved and costly.
If your site has poor natural drainage, a high water table or is close to a watercourse, more complex drainage solutions may be necessary. Your driveway specialist will identify drainage requirements during the site survey and include the appropriate provision in their quote. Do not accept a quote that makes no mention of drainage — it is either missing from the scope or the contractor is not applying adequate attention to this critical aspect.
