  • To be eligible for access the applicant must have authorisation to excavate directly in the public highway and or footpaths and be able to support this by providing either an approved section 50 notice (or equivalent) from the council or have Code powers (or equivalent) authorisation.

    Please note that S106 forms and other correspondence with our Developer Services team does not constitute evidence of excavation in the public highway.
