The report proposes the implementation of the Hereford Permit Scheme thereby meeting the requirements of the new Street Manager regulations and enabling the better management and co-ordination of works on the highway by applying conditions (see appendix F) which are provided in statutory guidance. The permit scheme will be managed by Balfour Beatty Living Places (BBLP) through the public realm contract as this is within the scope of the contract, this is a change in approach to managing street works - this is not a new function.
