    Thanks for the suggestion, this is the offending curb, the trouble is it dips a good 8 inches on the way in, that’s why I thought the concrete solution would be the best approach and the council are quite picky here believe it or not I’m getting quotes tomorrow wish me luck, Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login

    I'm sure there are a few experts on "8 inches on the way in" here that can offer advice...

    Good point! My answer is, I don't know.
    The disclaimer is at the bottom of the page to "Please check with your local council first"
    The products I bought were for use on private land, so I never bothered.

    This is what I did at my previous house. I didn't ask anyone for permission and it's still there today, 10 years after I put it there! I must have had good neighbours :)

    Well that’s exactly what I had in mind initially, what was the thickness of the plate ? And how did you secure it, I thought silicone might work

    I'm sure it was totally legal :rolleyes:
    Steel plate was either 8 or 10mm secured with 4 masonry bolts. It was a Gumtree special :D

    With local councils, it's often better to solve a problem rather than ask for permission.

    I'm sure you'll find that if you start to impede the rainwater flow your neighbours will do the complaining.

    That was my solution when I was living in East Melbourne with the 308 (with Euro spoiler).

    When I moved house there were 2 things that made the choice easy: garage that fitted both cars and the perfect crossover (and it’s extra wide) :)

    And no it’s not just because the land is flat, it isn’t, my garage s a couple of metres above the road level but just all the transitions are done properly.
