Street Works Licences Procedure

A Street Works Licence is required by any person or organisation who wishes to place or retain apparatus in a street, and thereafter inspect, maintain, adjust, repair, alter or renew the apparatus, change its position or remove it, unless the person or organisation has a statutory right to do so. Any person who carries out such works without a Street Works Licence or a statutory right is committing an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine.

The term apparatus includes drains, cables, ducts, sewer pipes, water and gas pipes etc, both under, over, across, along, or upon the street and any structure for the lodging therein of apparatus or for gaining access to apparatus.
