Proposed Permit Scheme for Road and Street Works
Thursday, April 02, 2009
Celina Colquhoun is advising a number of London highway authorities on the drafting and submission of a Permit Scheme for Road and Street Works under the Traffic Management Act 2004 for approval by the Secretary of State for Transport. The London Permit Scheme or LoPS when it is approved will replace the current Noticing System under the National Roads and Street Works Act 1991 (as amended).This follows the recent enactment of the Traffic Management Permit Schemes (England) Regulations 2007.
The LoPS is out for consultation until June 2009 and after the responses have been considered, the Permit Scheme will be put into its final form for submission to the Secretary of State for his consideration. The Secretary State may then approve the scheme with or without modifications and it will be given effect by a statutory Order.
The proposals will affect all road and street works promoters, in particular utility companies.
