You may want to occupy part of the road by:
- using a skip
- putting up scaffolding
- displaying a hoarding or signage

Applications require at least 10 working days notice and in some cases may require 28 days notice.
Application to carry out work on a road or car park
You may want to carry out work such as:
- excavations
- constructing a new access
- repairing apparatus under the road
- laying new pipes
Applications require at least 10 working days notice and in some cases may require 28 days notice.
Charges
There is a charge for different types of occupation or work. Failure to pay for work in advance will mean the fee is doubled unless otherwise agreed. Once an application has been received a member of the Road Network Team will contact you to arrange payment of the correct fee.
