Cranes and Temporary Traffic Orders (TTO)
You must apply for a Temporary Traffic Order (TTO) to do the following in the road or on the pavement:
- make a temporary road closure
- use a crane, platform, cherry picker, mewp or similar
- use concrete pumping machinery and outriggers
As with temporary structure licences, the cost of the licence will vary based on whether you are working on a 'major' or 'minor' road. Find out the category of the road you want to work on by searching our road category spreadsheet:
The council cannot give approval for the oversailing of cranes on private property. You will need approval from private landowners before beginning any works. Any damage caused to private property remains the responsibility of the applicant.
