Once we’ve received your application, we’ll contact you to arrange a site inspection.
How we evaluate your application
The site inspection is to ensure that the proposed work will not cause an inconvenience or any risk to a road user's health and safety.
Permission may be given subject to conditions which may relate to:
- approved footpath/road closure
- nature of work
- time scale
- the impact on local amenities
At all times applicants maintain a walkway to a minimum of 1.2m width. This is to maintain a satisfactory walkway to pedestrians and consideration for disabled people.
A licence is valid for 4 weeks. It will only be issued to you when the site visit has taken place.
Costs
Payment will be taken after the licence application is approved.
