Retrospective licences will be considered for approval. The consideration of these will now be subject to a charge of 1.5x the cost of the licence. All application fees are for consideration of the suitability of a licence. All applications fees are non-refundable whether a licence is granted or not.

Licences for skips and deposits of materials must be made when the application is for use within hoardings on the highway in addition to the application for hoarding licences.
