Material Licences

Presently, the London Borough of Enfield does not issue licences for building materials. However, the Highways Department does allow materials to be deposited on the highway with prior consent.

Materials placed in, or partly on, the carriageway require at least four traffic cones on the approach side to guide traffic past the storage area.

During the hours of darkness, in poor daytime visibility and bad weather, road danger lamps (flashing amber) must be placed to indicate the area of the site. If sited in the carriageway, a lamp should be placed between each cone. If the authority's contractors are called out to lamp the site or make it safe, a charge will follow.

The resident/builder must call to inform Highway Services that they will be placing building materials on the carriageway.

Providing this location has been approved, the Highways Inspectorate team makes a note of the location and monitors the site ensuring that the materials are suitably stored until work has been completed.
