Part 10A, Section 204V: Appeals Schedule 22: Pavement Licences Effect of licences Effect
These amendments have the effect of removing interactions between the previous route to gaining a pavement licence in England allowed under the Highways Act 1980 and this permanent route that are no longer relevant. Specifically, paragraph 11 requires that permissions to do anything which could be authorised by a pavement licence under the regime introduced through the 2020 Act are to be authorised through that route. Paragraph 12 introduces permanent text which extends powers for the Secretary of State or the local planning authority to make an order which may make provision for the removal of an obstruction which would be allowed by the pavement licensing regime.
