Change the verge outside your property

If you would like to change how the highway verge looks outside your house you need to apply for a cultivation licence. This licence is needed to:

• plant additional shrubs or flowers in one of our shrub beds
• change a grass verge into a shrub bed.

A licence will allow you to manage the verge or shrub bed as long as it is safe to do so and the requirements of the cultivation licence are met.

The licence is free and needs to be applied for every year.
