That box will be a show stopper that will be picked up when your LA or their contractor does the survey/quotation.
VM will charge you a decent amount to move it.
The whole project could end up costing you ~ £2k or more depending on what’s in the box!
Planning approval is only usually required if the property is located on a classified road.
Planning wouldn’t consider the detail and the fact there might be a stat with an asset in the footway. They’d just approve the principle of creating the access/egress.
Yes but we have to do the work first and then show photographic evidence of it before paying for them to drop the kerb. Now we’ve discovered the CATV cover I’m worried it’ll scupper our plans. I know it’s nothing to do with the contractor who’s doing the hardstanding but we should still consult them?
also if there is any removal of green space you’ll be paying for that too..
and check if your dropped kerb quote includes painted white lines, that can be another £60-£150.
when you apply for a dropped kerb you are paying for a service not a product, you don’t own the kerb.
I shouldn't think it would take long/cost much to build a 600mm wall though?
Its meant to look like this:
PS this isn't my house its what they want, the stupid law with the wall requirement makes it now impossible for us to get 2 cars in the drive, is it a visual aesthetic or what? Our plan was to get one wall up, as it said in the guidelines "A wall" meaning it can be 1, not strictly, 2.
Obviously it's more if you need to pay for the pavement to match up. (Sandwell Council fwiw).

They've also said we haven't installed a drainage system which we clearly have (and sent in a photo). The drive slopes slightly towards the house to allow for any water to keep off the pavement. What else are we meant to do?
