Pavement licence guidance
PASMA provides pavement licence guidance for those using mobile access towers built in areas the public can cross on foot.
Legally, in order to install towers – short term or otherwise – on a “highway”, a licence must be obtained from the Highway Authority. A highway is defined as any place where the public has a right to pass, such as pavements, carriageways, footpaths and verges.
PASMA’s guidance both assists those using the tower to make licence applications and helps local highway authorities to issue licences.
The guidance and licence template was produced by PASMA in consultation with the Health & Safety Executive (HSE), the Highway Authority and the National Traffic Managers’ Forum.
An example licence application is available on the PASMA website and can be viewed 
here.
