Street Works Regulation

The Department for Transport and Office for Zero Emission Vehicles are regulating street works and utility company activities to reduce disruption, improve coordination, and prevent misuse of emergency permits. The reform requires utility companies to share forward planning notices with local authorities and introduces incentive-based fee structures to encourage faster completion. Bills are advancing to strengthen enforcement and coordination between developers, utilities and councils.
