Temporary road closures for street parties
If you are planning to hold a street party and wish to use the public highway it will be necessary to officially close the road. To do this, you need to apply for a Temporary Road Closure Order.
There is no charge or insurance requirement if the road closure is for a street party.
A Temporary Road Closure Order is required for any event which may stop the flow of traffic on the public highway within the Horsham District.
Please apply for your temporary road closure at least six weeks before the event.

After you apply
On receipt of the application form, the necessary consultation procedure will be carried out. Once the application is approved, you will be sent a copy of the Road Closure Notice via email. Please make sure you display the notice on site in areas such as the beginning and end of the closed road, and any paths or roads leading to the closed area.
Please ensure that appropriate road closure signage and barriers are sourced by the organiser and set in place on the day of the event.
