You need a licence to put building apparatus or machinery in the road or on the pavement, for example on the public highway. This includes things like scaffolding, construction fencing, cranes and cherry pickers.
The type of licence you need depends on what you're putting on the highway and if you need a road closure.
Please be aware that from 20 January 2025 application fees will be changing.
