Examples of Single Route and Area
Example 1 - Single Route
Point to point route. A single route is one application with one fee, even if the route is across multiple road managers boundaries. Note - If you are travelling to or from a network associated with a Notice you will need to apply for a system of roads for each road manager.
Example 2 – Area
A number of roads off an approved network and within a single Road Manager boundary.
Example 3 – Area
A number of roads not off an approved network but continuous within a single Road Manager boundary.
Example 4 – Area
A number of roads (continuous or off an approved network) that start within a single Road Manager boundary but may end in another Road Manager boundary. Here, the black route will be included under a single area permit (Note: the system will limit the number of road segments to 40).
Example 5 – Area
A number of roads off an approved network and not within a single Road Manager boundary. The additional set of roads in this permit application will result in two permit applications being created (5a and 5b), with fees applying for each.
