Permits and rules in Horsham
West Sussex County Council is the highway authority for Horsham: in two-tier West Sussex, roads are run by the county council, not Horsham. Trunk roads are managed by National Highways.
Almost every English highway authority now runs a permit scheme under the Traffic Management Act 2004, so works on the road need a permit, applied for through the government's Street Manager service. Minor works usually need 3 working days' notice, standard works 10 and major works 3 months.
The A24 and A264 pass through or close to Horsham. Busy primary routes often come with time-of-day restrictions, so it pays to plan the method and the hours together.
Horsham is home to around 51,000 people, so works plans need to think about pedestrians, buses and deliveries as well as through traffic.
