FAQ

A Section 50 licence is required for any works that involve digging up or altering the public highway, such as installing new cables, pipes, or poles. You’ll need to obtain this licence from the local highway authority before starting any work.
A Section 74 permit is needed for temporary works that obstruct or restrict the highway, such as placing scaffolding,hoarding, or skips. It’s generally easier and quicker to obtain than a Section 50 licence.
The processing time for street work permits can vary depending on the complexity of the work and the workload of the local authority. However, you should typically allow at least 3-4 weeks for a Section 50 licence and a few days for a Section 74 permit.
Working without the correct permits can lead to hefty fines, legal action, and delays to your project. It’s crucial to obtain the necessary permissions before starting any work on the public highway.
