If you are interested in applying for a wildflower verge

If you would like to be considered for inclusion in this scheme and help contribute to manage roadside verges in a manner that promotes biodiversity, special wildlife habitats and wildflowers, you will need to work collaboratively with a relevant authority to make the application and provide a copy of the accompanying documentation as detailed on the application form.

Local interest groups, individuals or organisations requesting a wildflower verge will need to contact the relevant parish, town, district or borough council to ask them to complete the application on their behalf. We cannot accept applications directly or solely from local interest groups, individuals or organisations. Please ensure you engage with the parish, town, district or borough council at the earliest possible opportunity to ensure they have the resources to support you with the application, acting as the applicant, completing the form, and overseeing the scheme. This is a partnership scheme and there is no obligation for a parish, town, district or borough council to support a project.

There are several criteria that must be met for us to consider granting approval for a community engagement scheme, all of which are detailed in the Highway Verge Management Policy.
