Scaffolding

Responsibility for scaffolding comes under the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). Generally, if work comes in line with the Health and Safety Construction Design and Management Regulations, you should notify the HSE. Contact the HSE for more information. Details are on the HSE website.

Hoardings

You need planning permission to erect a hoarding. This applies to hoardings on building sites and general advertising hoardings. Contact the Planning Department on 01757 705101
