Flexi Permits Information Pack
Flexi-permits, proposed to enhance the current permit system, would cover multiple minor and standard works in a specified area for a limited time. Evidence from industry reports, independent trials, and government assessments suggests potential benefits like reduced administrative costs, faster delivery, and better coordination. Despite initial opposition from 80% of highway authorities due to concerns over control and coordination, most respondents support trials to further evaluate flexi-permits' design and effectiveness.
