Lincolnshire County Council construction
If you would like Lincolnshire County Council to construct your vehicle access, we will handle the entire process from application to completion.
If you choose this option, please be aware that we will construct the highway area of works only and not any works required on private property and will only construct new accesses in tarmac (and not concrete or block paving) so that this meets our specification.
What you need to provide
- Property measurements: You will need to supply the distance from the footway or verge to the boundary of your property.
- Road classification: Confirm the type of road your property is on (A, B, or C). You can find this information on the Find My Street website.
- Owner's consent: If you live in a rented or social housing property, you must provide written authorisation from the property owner.
- Drainage board approval: If the proposed access impacts a ditch or watercourse, you must provide proof of consent from the local drainage board.
- Planning permission: Where planning is required, obtain this in advance and have the planning permission reference number and digital copies of your supporting documentation ready to submit.
Process
We will review your application once it is submitted and provide you with a quote for the construction work. Please be aware that the initial quotations provided on our application are based on the standard width of an access (2.75m or three centre kerbs), variations to this will be quoted accordingly.
After the work is completed, the vehicle access becomes the responsibility of Lincolnshire County Council.
Fees
- New light-duty application: £250
- Removal of existing kerb: £114
- Estimated construction cost: £2,500 to £3,000 (the final price will be based on your property’s specific requirements)
Please note that we do not provide quotes for heavy-duty accesses under this service.
These fees are reviewed annually and may be subject to change.
