FAQs
Approved contractors?
You can nominate any contractor as long as they have the relevant street works accreditation (SWQR for Operatives) as well as Public Liability Insurance for a minimum of £5 Million.
Can I have the licence without choosing a contractor?
Our licence must have a contractor attached as we need to know that they have the correct insurance and liability cover, as well as the correct qualifications to undertake the works.
Does Vehicle Access look after drop kerbs for pedestrians, wheelchair access or disabled parking bays ?
Vehicle Access only administer S184 applications for accesses and dropped kerbs for vehicles. Pedestrian, wheelchair access or disabled parking bay requests should go to the LHFIG (Local Highway & Footway Improvement Group) via the relevant Parish Council initially
Does Vehicle Access Enforce possible illegal crossing / parking?
In the first instance any concerns should be reported to Highways using ‘MyWilts online reporting‘ system under ‘Roads, pavements and footpaths – Pavements or kerbs’ for the relevant Highways area attention.
Will I need planning permission to construct access?
In some cases, planning permission will be required. As part of our application we will make enquiries about planning on your behalf to the council’s planning department.
