A dropped kerb in Ketton needs approval from Rutland County Council before any work touches the footway or verge: £194 for the vehicle access permit, and we can build the crossing under the council's permit.

- Build the crossingBuilt by an approved contractor with street works accreditation and the right insurance, working under the council's permit. We hold the NRSWA street works qualification and can build the crossing for you, then build the driveway behind it so the levels line up.
- Build the drivewayThe drive behind the kerb is built to drain to your own ground, so no water runs onto the road.

Ground, drainage and conservation in Ketton
Ketton is on the Lincolnshire Limestone, which usually drains well, but the River Chater runs through the village to meet the Welland, and ground close to the river is a different matter. We test before designing a soakaway.
Ketton has a conservation area covering the historic village but no Article 4 direction, so normal permitted development rules apply outside listed buildings, with the usual conservation area limits. Ketton stone frontages call for buff and natural tones rather than grey.
