If you are laying out a hardstanding (front parking area) and the property is not a single family dwelling (it may be divided into flats for example) or is in a Conservation Area where there are special controls you will need planning permission.
If it needs a a dropped kerb or an extension to a dropped kerb then you need to make an application to the council. The existence of an existing dropped kerb means your application will probably be accepted but you will have to pay a fee for the work to be undertaken.
