The licence fee is £187 for three months.
You will also need to send a copy of your public liability insurance (a minimum of £5million cover is required).
The licence should be issued within five working days and will contain conditions designed to secure the health and safety of the public.
Do not start erecting the structure until you receive the licence
Licences are issued for a set period of time after which you must have safely removed the structure or have applied for an extension to the licence.
