Pembrokeshire: Fees and charges, street works

Who builds dropped kerbs in Pembrokeshire?

Pembrokeshire publishes a vehicular crossing application fee in its street works charges, but its current pages don't explain who builds the crossing. Its 'consent to construct or alter vehicular access' page link currently redirects to a search page, so ask Highways Development Control how to apply.

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 Pembrokeshire's planning team.

Who builds it isn't stated. Pembrokeshire's website doesn't say whether the council builds the crossing or you hire a contractor. Ask the council before you pay anyone, and check any contractor's street works qualifications and insurance.
