If you live on a red route, you will need TfL’s agreement for the dropped kerb and planning permission from Redbridge.

Apply for planning permission Does my driveway have a suitable opening for vehicles? If your application is approved, you will need a suitable vehicle opening onto your property so vehicles can drive on to the driveway. We do not adapt your driveway or front garden - we only lower the kerb to create the dropped kerb. If you do not have a suitable vehicle opening, you will need to arrange for an opening to be created on your front garden or drive. We cannot start work to create the dropped kerb until there is a clear opening on to the drive way. Is my driveway large enough to park my car? Your vehicle must not overhang the pavement or public footway when it is parked in the driveway. Refer to section 4 of our policy for footway crossings for more information.

Surface water must not drain into the road. Your application could be refused if your driveway or front garden does not have any of these materials.

Refer to Sections 2 and 3 of our policy for footway crossings for more information. Is there a street light, road sign or other street furniture in the way? We can move a street light or other street furniture to create your dropped kerb if there is another site to move it to. You will need to pay for the relocation of the street light or street furniture. Do I need the freeholder's approval?
