The Street Works (Inspection Fees) Regulations 1992
These Regulations prescribe a scheme for the payment by undertakers for inspections of their works by street authorities. A fee of £12.50 is prescribed for each chargeable inspection (regulation 3(1)). Where the undertaker holds a licence under section 50 of the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 (“the Act”) a chargeable inspection is every inspection of works or a phase of works subject to a maximum of 30 inspections where the undertaker’s estimated number of units of inspection in a year is less than 100. Where his estimated number of units in a year is 100 or more, a chargeable inspection is a random inspection of not more than 6.5 per cent of each phase of works or not more than 30 per cent of the estimated total: regulation 3(2)(a) and (b). Where the undertaker is a statutory undertaker, a chargeable inspection is a random inspection of not more than 6.5 per cent of each phase of works or not more than 30 per cent of the estimated total: regulation 3(2)(c).
