Island Roads is responsible for approving applications and licences for building works, scaffolding, hoarding and temporary projections that affect vehicles and pedestrians using the highway and footway.
A licence is required for placing building materials on any part of a highway. Any such materials must be kept on private land if possible in which case a license is NOT required. Licences are only issued in exceptional circumstances for any duration up to a month. The applicant can extend this before the granted license expires.
