If you have space to park near your commercial premises, you can request a new dropped kerb or an extension to an existing dropped kerb.
You will have to pay to have the new kerb built.
Do I need planning permission?
In certain cases, particularly on principal roads or in conservation areas, you will need to get planning permission before applying for a dropped kerb.
If you think you need planning permission, call the planning department on 020 8921 5708.
How do I apply?
Any business user or commercial operator in the borough can apply.
You can apply for the service by telephone, email or by post.
If the site is on a public street, road or highway, please telephone 020 8921 5488/5577/6204 or email highways maintenance using the link on the right.
If the premises is on a Council estate, you need to contact the relevant Neighbourhood Office.

What happens next

You will receive an estimate for the work and once payment has been received, work will begin.
How to pay
If your request is denied, an engineer will explain the reasons why.
