To carry out highway works to comply with planning permission, you must enter into an agreement with us. Find out more about agreements to work on the highway.
Development works which affect the highway must have temporary traffic restrictions in place.
This includes:
- Section 278 works
- minor works agreement
- Section 38 development
- development (no excavation within the highway)
You must get consent from us at least three months before works start.
You should not start work on the highway without having received approval for your application.
This process is in addition to any legal requirements for other activity, such as temporary traffic regulation order (for road closures) or excavations or installations of apparatus in the highway (for example road opening permits or Section 50 licences).
If you start work on the existing highway without a permit, we may take legal action against you.
Before you apply, you must:
- have held pre-discussions about temporary traffic management
- make sure all other necessary permissions are in place (e.g. highway agreements and planning permission)
- applied for Section 278 Principal Contractor approval if works are in relation to a Section 278
To complete your application, we recommend that you create an account to save your progress.
Please ensure you have the relevant information prior to starting the application process.
You must provide:
- the developer and contractor details
- the traffic management contractor details (where necessary)
- the planning permission reference number
- site location plan
- traffic management plan
- programme of works (if deemed necessary)
- public liability insurance (minimum cover £10 million)
