Help with getting a dropped curb?

wksd

Where I live, house prices are massively affected by parking. I have read my local council guidelines and believe I'd qualify for dropping the curb, however the application process states:
These items are mandatory:  Site Location Plan  Existing Plan  Proposed Plan  Application Fee.

I am a bit unsure about what is needed for the first three boxes. Does anyone have any idea or have you had a successful application?

Thanks

Site location plan = map with a DOT to show where your house is in relation to other houses and distance from corners/bends etc.
Existing plan = a drawing showing your house (in close up) with your drive and kerb as it exists now.
Proposed plan = as above but with the dropped kerb shown
Application Fee = Money (Oh sorry you know that one!)

It may be worth searching for similar applications on your local authority's planning portal to give you an idea of what to supply.

That could be an option if applicants require LPA approval for a dropped kerb of which a lot do not and only require CC approval. Some CC’s send their approval information back to LPA’s for it to be uploaded but again... only if approval via the LPA is required.

Possibly print a screenshot from Google maps and mark the position of your property on that.  Show the position of any existing drop kerbs and where you want to add one.

Ah thank you. Although do I need to get someone professional for the proposed plan?

Haha, I typed Kerb to begin with and the extension on chrome kept highlighting it as incorrect. But thank you, might help with the application!

You can change that to use UK English spelling, it's under Settings/Languages/Spell Check.

Well, as well as being annoyingly pedantic, I also thought it may help your application!

Hey wksd,
No - you don't need a professional for the proposed plan. Just a sketch drawing with a floor plan view of the drive to be should do.
You will however need a professional to get the lowering of the kerb done and must have insurance. Your council will provide a list of preferred contracts with your approval.
