Strange new build situation

I expect the hedge is planted like that for a visibility purposes. They may also be a covenant in the deeds saying that it has to kept below a certain height.
I live on a new build estate and all the road junctions have small dropped kerbs like that, but just tarmacked and no tactile surfaces.Appreciate I can't really see the levels well, but it looks like there might be a small c0ck-up on the drainage front there!
The iron works will be raised just before the final layer is laid and the road surface then levelled to ensure it drains correctly.0 -
We can certainly hope they will.The iron works will be raised just before the final layer is laid and the road surface then levelled to ensure it drains correctly.
Outside our house (not a new build) Highways managed to tarmac over their own gully and drainage channel, which stayed like that for over 20 years, according to locals.
Complaining didn't work, but once I put our winter 'lake' on the internet, rectification followed swiftly.0
