What is the difference between a development and a vehicle crossover (dropped kerb)?

If the access is to your own private house and for your use only then this is dealt with through a process known as the Vehicle Crossover Procedure that can be found though the link below.

If you have disposed of part of your garden and a new house will be built on the land or, if you are converting your house into shared accommodation and need a new or modified access, this will be classified as a development and you will need to follow the development control process.
It is not always possible to identify specific cases in the FAQ section. To confirm your status you will need to check with a member of the Development Control Team by selecting the 'Contact Us' link and ring the number listed for Hertfordshire Highways.
