Licensing & Permits

Embankment licence

An embankment licence is required where it is proposed to permanently embank land, for example where a new river wall is proposed to be constructed in front of an existing river wall. It may be necessary to apply for an embankment licence and a river works licence at the same time if the proposed works result in the permanent embankment of land.

Guidance

The following should be provided when applying for an Embankment Licence:

A consideration and surveyors fee is payable for all river works licences, this is dealt with by the Estates team at [email protected]. The Estates team should only be contacted once you have received written confirmation that the application has been approved. Further information on PLA Charges is available here.
