Barnsley Permit Scheme for roadworks

The Barnsley Permit Scheme is designed to minimise any delay and disruption to road users caused by roadworks.

This scheme applies to all streets in Barnsley.

More details about the scheme are included in our supplementary information.

Who needs a permit

Statutory undertakers carrying out road works need a permit. They'll set out how they'll minimise disruption to road users and pedestrians throughout the period of the works. 

Anyone who is not a statutory undertaker should apply for a licence for roadworks.

Other types of activity on the highway, such as builders’ skips and scaffolding are not included in this scheme and need a separate licence.

Charges and payment

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.

Permit fees

Type PAA Major Standard Minor Immediate Variation
Type 1/2 and T/S streets £105 £240 £130 £65 £60 £45
Type 3/4 and non-T/S streets £75 £150 £75 £45 £40 £35

Conditions relating to immediate works

During the period between you starting the roadworks and your permit being granted, you have to carry out a number of activities. There are certain conditions that apply to these immediate activities, which you have to meet.
