Apply for planning consent or a certificate of lawful use

New operators may need to obtain planning consent or a certificate of lawful use before applying for a vehicle.

Planning permission (or a Certificate of Lawful Use”) is usually required for multi-car operators. This must be produced before submitting a new Operator licence application. 

You should complete the form below and upload it.

Smaller operations or single-car bases may accept five additional licence conditions, which, if no Ward Councillors object, may still permit the grant of a licence in suitable cases, without requiring full planning permission.
