Vehicular Crossing/Dropped Kerb Application
If you own a property and you wish to park a vehicle on that property, but currently do not have a vehicular crossing / dropped kerb on the adjacent highway from which to do so, then you MUST apply to the residents’ company for permission to install a vehicular crossing / dropped kerb and satisfy certain criteria.
Vehicular Crossings, also known as dropped kerbs, are where kerbs have been lowered and the footway or verge strengthened to allow vehicles to cross over to an adjacent property.
Please note the residents’ company will not allow any vehicular crossing where the depth of the frontage car parking space is less than 5 metres.
The vehicular crossing / dropped kerb when constructed, does not become your property. It will form part of the communal infrastructure and will be owned by the residents’ company. However, you will be responsible for its maintenance.
The crossing only serves to provide access to and from your property; it does not reserve a parking space on the communally owned residents’ company road for you. The crossing should not be used as a parking space.
How can I apply for a vehicular crossing / dropped kerb?
- You will need to complete the Preim Application Form for a Vehicular Crossing..
- You will also need to agree to Preim’s Terms and Conditions and any work carried out must comply with Preim’s Construction Specification (see appendix 1).
How much does it cost?
If your application is approved a fee of £250 is required for the administration of the request to ensure compliance with any residents’ company requirements. Unless otherwise agreed this must be received before construction can commence. Payment can be made by BACS, using the details below.
