So even a bit of hedge trimming on the pavement would need notifying??
Or is it just tree work?

If you're going to close the footway and redirect pedestrians across the road  and/or you're gonna be longer than 20 minutes then, technically, yes... 

 

I couldn't possibly say as a TO that common sense should come into play and putting notice in for an hour's hedge trimming would be ott.

 

And don't moan at me - I don't make up these laws!

Page 55 of the safety at street works..

 

... Where a positive traffic control method is chosen, notification must be given to the relevant highway authority. For the use of portable traffic signals, prior permission is required from the relevant highway authority. However, in the case of immediate works (as defined in the Code of Practice for the Co-ordination of Street Works and Works for Road Purposes and Related Matters), the authority must be informed at the time and an application submitted at the earliest opportunity (but not later than 10 am the next working day).
