Apply for a Street Works Licence - Section 50
Apply to put equipment connected with digging into a public road on the street.
Please make sure that you are applying for the correct type of licence before you confirm payment. You should also check that the location is within West Berkshire (you can view a map of the district here). To cover our administration costs, we can generally only offer a 50% refund where licence applications contain errors or where applicants withdraw their application before it has been granted. Once an application has been processed and granted, we are not able to give refunds if you tell us you no longer need the licence.
This application must be accompanied by the following:
- a plan showing the precise location of the proposed works
- a copy of your/your contractor's current public liability insurance certificate - this must provide a minimum value of cover of £10 million
- copies of the current qualifications valid under Section 67 of the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 for the Supervisors and Operatives who will carry out the works
- a copy of any relevant permission required from the Utility Company
- letters/plans from Statutory Undertakers confirming either that their equipment/apparatus is not affected, or, if it is, their requirements
