Permission is required from the council if you need to drop the kerb outside your property to make a driveway. Wakefield Council provides a quotation and construction service in order for you to do this.

If the property is rented from the council you will require the permission of the Area Housing Office to take a vehicle into the garden.

Please read the Planning Guidance Notes, under 'Downloads', for advice and guidance on the design and construction of a vehicle access crossing.
