Constructing a vehicle crossover
Our appointed contractor will carry out the construction of the crossover.
The kerbs will be replaced with three low kerb units and a tapered kerb at each side, unless agreed otherwise with you. All new applications will be constructed in tarmac for the full width of the footpath. An extension may be constructed to match the existing crossover, or in tarmac.
The width of a crossover
The width of a standard single crossing is 4.5 metres at the kerbline. Generally, applications involving only a single width crossing per property will be considered.
However, in some cases a wider (up to 7.2 metres) crossing may be acceptable if it adds to the overall highway safety of the access arrangements.
Parking within your property
Your application will not be approved unless you are able to provide a suitable parking area within your property. To comply with our Luton Local Plan, your parking area must be a minimum of 4.9 metres in length by 2.4 metres in width.
