Apply for a vehicle crossover (dropped kerb)
Vehicle crossover applications that include changes to parking bays
If there is a controlled parking bay outside your property, East Sussex Highways can only grant a licence in principle to install a vehicle crossover.
To receive the licence, the parking bay must be changed or removed.
Changes to parking bays
Any change to an existing parking bay must include an amendment to a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO).
Once you have been granted a crossover licence in principle, to progress the application request a TRO amendment.
You will need to complete the Make a request for or changes to parking controls form, including your application reference number in the reason for the request.
How requests are reviewed
All requests submitted are considered as part of the parking review process. A parking review of an area takes place every 14-16 months. More information can be found on our Guide to parking reviews.
The review process involves consultation on changes to controls. If there is an objection we cannot resolve, it is taken to the Planning Committee to decide. If the committee uphold the objection, changes to the controls will not be made.
This is a legal process, and it must be completed before a crossover licence can be issued.
TRO change approval
If the TRO amendment is approved you will need to notify East Sussex Highways at licensingandenforcement@eastsussexhighways.com as soon as possible.
East Sussex Highways will then issue the licence. If notification is not made within a reasonable time frame, the bay may be reinstated as part of a following review.
