80% planning approval rate. Where we believe consent will be difficult to secure, we will tell you honestly before you spend a penny on drawings or submission. That is what the appraisal is for.
Planning Appraisal
A Chartered Town Planner reviews your property against your council’s guidance and gives you a written recommendation: is planning permission required, is it likely to succeed, and what to do next. Turnaround typically 24–48 hours.
Single Drawing
One technical drawing prepared by a Chartered Landscape Architect to the scale and standard required by your council — typically a proposed site plan or location plan. Suitable where only one drawing is missing from your submission.
Drawing Package
The complete drawing set required for a dropped kerb planning application — location plan, existing and proposed block plans, proposed site plan, elevations and visibility splays. Ready to submit yourself, or use to get build quotes from contractors.
Drawings + Planning Submission + Management
The full service. We prepare the complete drawing package, write the application, submit it to your council, and act as your planning agent — responding to officer queries and managing the case through to a decision. The easiest route to approval.
Design & Access Statement (add-on)
A formal supporting document required for applications in conservation areas, listed buildings, or where the council specifically requests one. Adds policy justification to your submission, prepared by a Chartered Town Planner.
What’s not included
Our fees cover our work only. The following are paid directly by you to the relevant authority:
- Council planning application fee — currently £348 (set nationally, paid to your Local Planning Authority on submission)
- Crossover licence fee — varies by council, paid to the highway authority after planning consent is granted
- Contractor costs — the physical construction of the kerb itself, typically £800–£2,500
Why fixed fees
We publish our prices because dropped kerb planning is a defined, repeatable piece of work — not open-ended consultancy. You know exactly what you’ll pay before you commit, and we know exactly what we’re delivering. No hourly billing, no scope creep.
Our 80% approval rate — and the appraisal
Around 80% of the applications we submit are approved. The reason it isn’t higher is the same reason it’s honest: we tell clients up front when we think a case will struggle. If your property is in a position where consent is genuinely unlikely — a tight Conservation Area corner, an exposed classified-road junction, a constrained visibility splay — we will say so at the appraisal stage. You can then decide whether to proceed knowing the risks, or not waste your money. That candour is what the £30 appraisal pays for.
