Almost anything you do in or beside the public highway needs permission. Under the New Roads and Street Works Act framework, street works require a permit or notice with defined notice periods. Anything that changes the legal use of the road — a full closure, a parking suspension, a temporary speed restriction, a prohibition of movement or a footway closure — generally requires a Temporary Traffic Regulation Order.
We handle that whole process: identifying what your works actually need, preparing and submitting the applications, aligning them with the traffic management design, running the notice periods, dealing with statutory advertising and consultation where required, liaising with the authority, emergency services and bus operators, and obtaining sign-off.
It suits utilities and civils contractors who need the works permitted but do not want to staff the paperwork, developers whose site access affects the highway, event organisers needing road space on a fixed date, local authority teams working across neighbouring areas with different processes, and anyone whose application has already been refused.
Professional help matters because the process is procedural rather than negotiable. Applications are refused for missing information, wrong categories, inadequate drawings, clashes with other approved works or insufficient notice — and every refusal restarts the clock. Knowing what each authority expects before you submit is the whole value.
