A dispensation is a permission for an abnormal load to travel without having to notify us each time.
You can apply for an annual dispensation:

- for agricultural machinery over 2.9m and under 3.5m wide

Dispensations are issued on an annual (January to December) basis and you must apply for or renew them before the end of the year.
Please use our dispensation enquiry form to ask about dispensations.
