Planning roads

Particularly busy major roads are known as planning roads because you need approval from the planning department before you can place skips or carry any type of work on them.

If you live on one of these roads you will need planning approval for any work that might disrupt the highway, including:

  • work on your garden
  • any type of exterior construction work

To get approval for work on planning roads
