Drop Kerbs Services in Poole
Poole spans everything from the sweeping detached properties of Canford Cliffs and Lilliput to the 1930s semis of Broadstone and the modern estates of Canford Heath. Our teams are accustomed to the full range of Poole property types — tight urban accesses in the Old Town, waterfront properties with marine exposure, and suburban driveways in Broadstone and Upton where traditional block paving and asphalt are the most popular choices.
White & Sons holds Street Works Operative certification to carry out vehicle crossings on public highways. We handle the entire process to local authority specifications, ensuring safe, legal, and seamless access to your property. From the initial dropped kerb application to your local council (Dorset Council, BCP Council, or Hampshire County Council) right through to the finished crossing, we manage every stage for you. All works are inspected and signed off by the highway authority.
Drop Kerbs in Poole — Local Detail
Dropped kerb applications for Poole properties are submitted to BCP Council. Our experience with Poole's varied street conditions — from narrow Old Town lanes to modern estate roads — means we can assess the viability of your application before you commit to any costs.
Planning & Drainage in Poole
Poole falls within BCP Council's jurisdiction, and all new impermeable driveways over 5 square metres require either a SUDS-compliant drainage solution or planning permission. Poole's water table is notably high in low-lying areas close to the harbour, which can affect soakaway viability — we always carry out a percolation test to confirm the right drainage solution for your specific site.

Drop Kerbs in Poole — Common Questions
Is soakaway drainage suitable for my Poole property?
It depends on your location in Poole. Properties close to the harbour or in low-lying areas may have a high water table that limits soakaway viability. We carry out a soil percolation test on every site survey and will always recommend the most appropriate drainage solution for your specific ground conditions.
Who approves dropped kerbs in Poole?
BCP Council (Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council) handles all vehicle crossing applications in Poole. We submit the application and manage the full process with BCP's highway team on your behalf.
