Hi to you all . This is my first entry here and would like some advise please.

I have recently dug out an entrance into my field and installed gates ect. As this was onto an unclassified road I understood I didn't need planning permission . My lovely neighbours have called the highways who are now insisting I apply for a license to get drop kerbs layed along the highway by a competent contractor with 5m public liability insurance. Has anyone else come across this ?

Thanks  Jason

We already had an entrance, albeit tarmac stopped, mud/gravel started.  On the planning for a new building the access detail was also shown to highway spec (solid surface (concrete), width 7.468m at road narrowing to 4.572m 15.24m back at gates, stormwater to ditch not onto road).  A straight line was then cut across the tarmac and concrete poured.  That was it.

Never had planning or highways involved since they were originally consulted as part of the planning.

I think I will casually leave it until I get an official letter .
