Rights and obligations for the owner of the apparatus and the highway authority are explained within the licence.
If you wish to apply for a licence, please contact the authority via email at streetworks@northumberland.gov.uk or phone 0345 600 6400.
The application will be assessed by the Streetworks team who will discuss any issues with the applicant.
Applicants are advised to get in touch at the earliest point as the nature of the work, and the associated traffic management, may affect the proposed start date for the work. For example, there is a 12 week minimum notice period should a road closure be required.
The Council may request an alternative location for the proposed apparatus if it is considered that the installation, or any future maintenance, may cause unnecessary levels of traffic disruption.
The information you must provide includes location plans, timescales for carrying out the work and the type of traffic management you will use. We consult utility companies about your proposals, and they may ask for additional work to be carried out to protect their apparatus.
Please also note:
The cost of the Section 50 licence is £575; whilst the cost of a Section 171 licence is £375.
