Licence

Apply for a River Thames accommodation licence

Get a licence to build, change or retain a structure on or in the River Thames.

England Issued by Environment Agency

What this covers

It applies in England — but not uniformly within them, because no single national statute governs it.

Environment: water

Why you need it

We hold no national enabling statute for this licence. See the note above for why. Rather than cite an Act that does not create it, we say so plainly — your council remains the authority on whether you need it.

Who issues it

This one does not go to your council. It is issued by Environment Agency.

Where to apply

Duty, penalty and exemption labels are Guvnor’s analysis of the enabling instrument, not the instrument itself. Fees, forms and conditions are set by the issuing authority — always check the linked source.
