Practical answers

Common Havering dropped-kerb questions

How much is the Havering application?

The known fixed council stage is £261.00. This is the application stage only. Construction, planning and site-specific work are not included.

What parking space is required?

Normal 4.8m by 2.4m parking area. Other layout and safety rules still apply, so passing the dimensions alone does not guarantee approval.

Is planning permission needed?

Listed roads and flats or maisonettes can require planning permission before the crossover process.

How do I apply?

Run the postcode checker first, resolve any warnings, then use the linked official application guidance. The authority will make the final decision after assessing the site.

Quote-ready
