Full council record
Decision
To approve the Pavement Licensing Policy for public consultation.
Reasons for the decision
The authority’s draft Pavement Licensing Policy was originally consulted on in 2025. Currently, we do not have a policy in place.
Following consultation feedback around privately maintained public highway land, the policy has been updated and ready for a short consultation with stakeholders and any businesses affected by the regime.
Alternative options considered
Consultation is a statutory requirement. Seeking adoption without consultation will place the authority at significant risk of legal challenge.
