You need to obtain a temporary traffic regulation order (TTRO) to carry out works on footpaths and highways.
This is necessary to consider whether, during the work, we need to introduce:
- road closures (full width or half width with diversions)
- footpath* closures
- parking restrictions
- parking bay suspensions lasting longer than six months
- loading bay suspensions
- banned turns
- bus lane suspensions
* A footpath is a public right of way where the public has a legal right of way on foot only.
A TTRO can last for just a few hours or up to 18 months depending on the nature of the work.
Apply
Before you make an application, you need to contact Hounslow Highways to arrange a site visit.
A TTRO costs £2,296.05 (1 April 2026 until 31 March 2027).
We need to receive the application at least six weeks before the restriction is required.
The restriction may have to be delayed if you do not give six weeks’ notice. We will only bring a restriction into force without delay in exceptional circumstances, such as if there is a danger to the public because of serious damage to the road.
You need to send your completed application form by email to:
