Street Works permit scheme
Cheshire East Council implemented the West and Shires Permit (WaSP) scheme on 3 November 2014.
The WaSP scheme requires an activity promoter to apply for a permit in order to book road space on the highway. The Permit Authority (Cheshire East Council) issues permits with conditions attached to better focus the activity in terms of reducing the impact on road users and other stakeholders.
Equally, we can refuse to issue a permit if we feel the planning or the detail of the application is insufficient. The WaSP scheme allows us to recoup the cost of coordinating and managing the activity by charging for issuing a permit.
