The document discusses the legal requirements, costs, and expectations for obtaining a street works license from Lancashire County Council to perform works on highways and roads. To obtain a license, applicants must submit plans and have insurance between £5m-£1m depending on the works. Licenses under 10 days cost £438, while longer projects cost £588-£630 depending on the number of streets. Once granted, a license provides the same rights and responsibilities as a statutory undertaker. The County Council expects license holders to prioritize safety, quality, performance, communications, coordination, and minimizing disruption.
