Applying for a vehicle crossover
You can make a request for a vehicle crossover, this is normally when you want to connect the frontage of your property to the road. Before you apply for a crossover you must read the vehicle crossover application guidance and the vehicle crossover policy. This is because not every property will be suitable for us to approve a crossover.
This guidance contains details of the conditions that prohibit the approval of a crossover and if you meet the criteria it also contains details on the permissions you may need to obtain before making your application.
You will find the application guidance online.
In addition to the guidance, further information can be found in the vehicle crossover policy.
Before you apply
It is important to note that:
1. If your property is on a classified road, you will require planning permission before submitting an application. Failure to do this will result in your application being refused. You can use our Classified roads directory to check if you are on a classified road. Visit our web page to make a planning permission application.
2. You may need a change to a Traffic Regulation Order to be made to allow the access for the vehicle crossing. This will occur if the drop kerb location by your property has any form of:
- parking restriction
- controlled parking zone
- pedestrian crossing etc
The cost for this is shown in our fees and charges but could be up to £1850.
3. Your application is likely to be refused if you have not:
- detailed the correct information on your application
- got the correct permissions
The cost for the application is non-refundable.

When you apply for a crossover there is a non-refundable application fee. If you make an application without meeting the conditions or without the necessary permissions, you are at risk of your application being rejected and losing your application fee.
Once you have read the guidance and policy document and have all the required details, any required permissions and location sketches/photos, you can apply for a crossover.
When making your application please take care to read the terms and conditions contained in the on-line application form as you will need to confirm you have read the guidance.
