This scheme applies to all streets in Barnsley.

Who needs a permit

Anyone carrying out works in a permit street must apply for a permit. It sets out how they'll minimise disruption to road users and pedestrians throughout the period of the works. This includes utility companies and Barnsley Council and it's partners. 

A permit isn't needed for activities involving builders’ skips and scaffolding, where the existing arrangements will be maintained.

We review our permit fees every year - the current fees are listed below.

We'll invoice you monthly for the cost, which you can pay by debit or credit card.
