Seasonal Decoration Licence Application Process
Parish Councils should have received their Seasonal Decorations Application Form and Guidance Notes for applying to Nottinghamshire County Council for the Installation, Operation and Removal of Seasonal Decorations in the Highway or linked to the Highway (i.e. by an electrical connection). Please ensure yourself and your appointed contractor completes the forms and once completed return to the Highways Office in Newark for the attention of Keith Whyles. It is suggested that completion of the form is carried out jointly by both parties to assist in the processes stated in the application form. You are also reminded that all questions must be completed inline with the notes for guidance.
As you are probably aware, we will be on the third application season under the new code of practice and the NCC requirement for 2008 will be full compliancy under the new code. This means all electrical infrastructure must be compliant to the new standards before any commissioning of decorations can be applied for.
All applications must be submitted fully completed a minimum of 16 weeks prior to the proposed installation date. This will mean that all applications must be received completed by 1 August to give NCC enough time to process and evaluate the application. Please also note that is unlikely an application can be processed with out the questions 1 to 8 in ‘General Requirements’ ticked ‘Yes’.
This year NCC and our partners can offer their services as contactors. This will mean safe and secure installations installed and removed by professionals, to the correct standard required by NCC as the Highway Authority.
Please be aware any applications which are received outside the prescribed timescale will NOT be processed and a Section 178 licence will NOT be granted. If a licence is not granted and decorations are installed they will be disconnected and removed by NCC in their capacity as the Highway Authority. The promoter will be charged for the removal and disconnection of these decorations.
If you have any further questions regarding completion of the application form or any item of the process and supporting policy please contact the Newark Highways Office, Keith Whyles on 01636 682614 who will be able to assist you.
