Highway projection licence

The maximum depth that the display can protrude over the public footway is 1.05m (3ft 6in). This is subject to 2.10 m(7 feet) clear passageway between the edge of the display and the road (or any intervening pavement furniture like a bollard or phone box).

We reserve the right, in exceptional circumstances, to allow more depth of display where the pavement is very wide, or less depth of display where pedestrian footfall is very high.

All goods or equipment on display under the terms of the licence must be kept within the area specified.

To allow the safe passage of pedestrians beneath projections from frontage development, like canopies, blinds, CCTV equipment, a minimum vertical clearance of 2.75m is required from the surface of the footway to the underside of any projection.

We may alter this vertical clearance in exceptional cases.

If at a future date, if we add pavement furniture which affects the display area of the licence, we will review or remove the licence.

Charges for licences will depend on the application. They will be advised when we receive full details from the pre-application form.
