Under the New Roads and Street Works Act (NRSWA) a Section 50 licence allows a person without a statutory right, to place, retain and remove apparatus in the street, and to do work necessary for that purpose. Section 50 of, and Schedule 3, to NRSWA govern the licence system. The licensee is then effectively acting as a statutory undertaker and is governed by the obligations imposed under NRSWA, the Traffic Management Act (TMA) and other regulations.
Wiltshire Council must keep a record of all street works, and apparatus installed, under licences it has granted. Details of licences must be included in the Street Works Register.
The fees set out in the code should be included together with any bonds required.
Current fees as of April 2009
- Repair to existing apparatus £225.00
- Placing new apparatus £355.00
