Building related licences

 
The Council’s highways team handles building-related licences.

If you want to place building materials on any part of a public road or street, you need to get a licence from us to do so.

Putting up building site hoardings or scaffolding on public roads or pavements is also controlled. This is done to make sure that safety measures are in place.

Skips on the roadside are similarly controlled, but you cannot get the licence yourself - the request has to come from a skip hire company.

Please see the links on your left.
