Important Update
From 2nd April 2024 we will introducing our new system to process the below licence applications:
- Scaffold
- Skips
- Hoarding
- Plant
- MEWPS, Cranes, Cherry Pickers
- S184- Vehicle dropped kerbs
All other licences will follow in due course.
On first application you will need to create a customer account. If you are a business, you can add multiple users to your one account.
The new system will improve the experience for applying and tracking your licence applications, with a few key points below:
- You will be able to view all pending/active and expired licences within your account.
- You will only need to upload your Public Liability documents to your account annually as the system will hold the expiry dates.
- You can apply for multiple licences and pay upon check-out at the end. This means all applications will revert back to requiring payment on submission.
Dropped Kerbs
The way we handle s184 (vehicle dropped kerb) applications is changing. We will be publishing details in due course.
Fees
From 2nd April 2024 all fees will be increased by of 3.8% for Licence & Application fees. You can find the new Fee Structure here.
This will be the first increase in 2 years.
Tables and Chairs/Traders
