Overview
What is a scaffold and hoarding permit?
A permit is needed for any scaffolding or hoarding that needs to be placed on the highway. It does not control the standard in which the scaffold or hoarding is put up; this remains the responsibility of the applicant.
Use of private property
Wherever possible, a scaffold or hoarding must be placed on private property. Where applications are received and it is clear on inspection that sufficient room is available on private land, the application will be refused but is still chargeable.
Sufficient room on private land is determined by Staffordshire County Council and is not negotiable.
