Getting a crossover is not simple. A Planning Permission is usually required and local residents are consulted. If you are worried about the loss of the parking space - I suggest you contact the Planning Department before any works begin.Taken from the Ealing Council website:'A dropped kerb, also known as a crossover, enables a car to be driven onto the front area of a property. It is an offence to cross the public footway without a legally constructed footway crossing.Cost - The cost of constructing an average crossover is £1000. This cost depends on the size of the crossover and if there are any pavement obstructions ie a tree, lighting column that may have to be removed.Processing your application - As part of your application a site visit will be conducted to make environmental observations and take site measurements. This information will be used to assess your application.Ealing Council reserves the right to refuse a crossing application if necessary.'
