Planting and cultivation licence

Before you apply

Your application may be rejected if the proposed site is considered to be potentially dangerous to the public.

A licence is needed to plant or cultivate within the highway. 

• Trees
• Shrubs
• Amenity areas

This list is not exhaustive, and we'll consider other items.

Licences are only issued to:

• district or borough council
• town or parish council
• other organisations e.g. Bury In Bloom
• a member of the public who'll need to provide us with written confirmation of support from their local council.
