When an Emergency Occupation Permit for Safety Works Is Required
Authorisation is required even for urgent works that involve occupying public land for safety reasons (e.g. collapses, falling plaster, road accidents). Local authorities provide a simplified but always traceable procedure for these cases.
What the Emergency Occupation Permit Covers
It regularises an occupation that took place without prior notice for public safety reasons. It allows the presence of scaffolding, barriers, hoarding or vehicles on public land to be legitimised while awaiting permanent works.
