Under Regulation 30, statutory undertakers can be charge a fee in the following circumstances:
· The submission of an application for a Provisional Advance Authorisation (see below for specific circumstances);
· The issue of a permit;
· The variation of a permit or of the conditions of a permit; and
· The difference between fees for an activity when it moves from one works category to another.
Fee levels adopted by City of York Council are presented in Table 1 and are considered proportionate to the significance of the streets where works are planned and the likely amount of work required for the Authority to effectively coordinate and manage activities.
In accordance with the statutory guidance, major activity permit fees are split into three bands depending on the duration of the works.

*Strategically Significant Streets (SSS) include:
· Traffic sensitive streets - designated in accordance with the criteria set out in Regulation 16 of The Street Works (Registers, Notices, Directions and Designations) (England) Regulations 2007; and
· Streets which fall into reinstatement categories 0, 1 or 2 - defined in the Specification for the Reinstatement of Openings in Highways.
A PAA will only be charged on receipt of an associated permit application (i.e. where it is received and a subsequent permit application is also received) irrespective of the outcome of the assessment of either of these applications.
