Highways projection Licence 

Should you wish to erect any type of display that may protrude/project over a public highway you will require a licence.

 

A highway projection licence is also required for:

  • Building on the highway. For example, a disabled access ramp at the entrance to a property.
  • Building work that project over the highway. For example, shop signage or construction of a balcony.
  • A crane that over sails the highway is not a highway projection

 

In the first instance please contact the Traffic Management Team to discuss your requirements.

* failure to have the correct licence in place could result in your display being removed and or a fine
