Who builds dropped kerbs in Flintshire?

You can have the works done by Flintshire County Council, which gives a fixed-price quotation including utility searches, or by an approved private contractor of your choice. A private contractor needs £5m public liability insurance, NRSWA-accredited operatives and supervisors, and gives a two-year maintenance guarantee.

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 Flintshire's planning team.
