Scaffolding licences are only issued to scaffolding companies
who use appropriately qualified people to design and erect the
scaffolding.
They are not issued to private individuals. If you want the
scaffolding to be erected on a road, footway, footpath or verge you
will need the scaffolding company to get a scaffolding licence from
us, which costs £70.
The scaffolding company will arrange this and pay the fee, but
they may pass the costs on to you.
You do not need a licence if the scaffolding is on your own
property.
