Road construction consent

Need to know

All road design and applications must be designed in accordance with national, regional and local design guides:

Our Road Construction guidelines (PDF, 154kb) can help with the application process. Please read this carefully. 

Your application will only be registered if all relevant plans and documents have been submitted together when making your application. Missed items will result in a delay.

Road works required out with the site boundary will require the necessary permits over and above the Road Construction Consent. Apply by emailing roadspermits@north-ayrshire.gov.uk
