Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council Permit Scheme

Part 7 of the Regulations and statutory guidance (Registers and record keeping related to a permit scheme) requires that the permit authority must maintain a register of each street covered by their scheme containing information with respect to all registerable activities on those streets. (Permit Authorities still need to run a street works register required under Section 53 of NRSWA for any private streets and for any publicly maintained streets that are not included in the permit scheme).

Permit management systems will receive applications electronically and this enables an authority to manage them together with other relevant information. Requirements for NRSWA registers are contained in the Code of Practice for Coordination of Street Works and Works for Road Purposes and Related Matters and its successors. In the interests of consistency, Permit Authorities should ensure that all information held in permit registers is referenced to the Unique Street Reference Number (USRN) and be GIS (Geographic Information System) based. Permit Authorities should follow the requirements in the latest Technical Specification.

This permit scheme will comply with all requirements of the above regulations and associated Statutory Guidance and its successors.
