Scaffold, Hoarding, Container and Crane Licences
When carrying out any building work/maintenance or removal of any part of a property which is adjacent to the public highway (road, pavement or rear lane), the safety of all users of the highway must be paramount.
This is achieved by providing safe areas at ground level or a platform at high level. When it is necessary to place hoardings on the highway around the place of work or scaffolding, permission is necessary and can be obtained from Haringey Council, on completion of an application and site inspection. Once permission has been granted, the conditions attached to the licence must be carefully read and kept to at all times.
In addition to the scaffold and hoarding licence, you can also apply for licences to place a crane or run of containers on the public highway.
For further details regarding the safe erection of scaffold and hoarding structures, please see our safety guide.
