Ceredigion: Ceredigion Streetworks (Section 184 vehicular access)
Who builds dropped kerbs in Ceredigion?
To create, alter or extend a vehicle access you apply to Ceredigion's Streetworks section for Section 184 consent (Highways Act 1980), sending your qualified contractor's qualifications and public liability insurance of no less than £6m.
Wales has its own planning rules. Vehicle crossings in Wales come under section 184 of the Highways Act 1980, as in England, but permitted development rights are set by the Welsh Government, so England's planning guidance doesn't apply. See the Welsh Government's householder permitted development technical guide (PDF) or ask Ceredigion's planning team.
