Scaffold permit
Overview
You need a permit to erect scaffolding on a public road, verge or pavement.
Permit applications can only be made by scaffolding companies. We do not issue permits to members of the public.
A permit costs £114 and is valid for 28 days. After this, you'll need a new permit.
You must have public liability insurance for at least £5 million
