Description

I am applying to lower the kerb outside my property to create a safe and accessible off-road parking space for my vehicle. The proposal includes the installation of six lowered kerb units plus two angled (transition) kerb to provide a smooth and compliant access point from the highway to my driveway. Lowering the kerb will allow my vehicle to be parked fully within the boundary of my property, positioned sideways, which provides ample space, improved visibility, and reduces obstruction to the public highway. This modification will help prevent on-street parking issues, enhance road safety for pedestrians and drivers, and ensure the vehicle can be manoeuvred in and out of the driveway safely.
