Scaffolding licence
Conditions
A licence only covers one structure and it cannot be issued for both scaffolding and hoarding. If you need scaffolding and hoarding you will need separate licences for both. If you need two separate scaffolds at the same location, two licences will be required.
You may need a traffic management plan and potentially a temporary traffic regulation order, if this is likely to cause an obstruction to a public highway/road, road closure or obstruct parking spaces. You also need to determine whether listed building consent is required.
We work closely with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). If it is identified that there is a potential issue with the safety of the structure, either during erection, dismantling or use. The matter will be brought to the attention of the HSE.
It is an offence under section 169 part 5 of the Highways Act to place scaffolding/hoarding before the permitted start date. It is advised that you read and understand our scaffold protocol (PDF, 1.15MB) before proceeding with your application.
