Temporary structures

Where it is intended that a tent, marquee or similar structure is to be erected and the public are to attend, with or without charge, then the promoter will need to notify us and the fire authority 21 days before erecting the temporary structure.

If you are holding an event that will include temporary structures please download the temporary structure application form (PDF) [58KB] , complete and return to us by email to building.control@chorley.gov.uk.

We will be able to offer advice on any necessary notice and conditions that may apply to your proposal.

Where the temporary structure is for a private function, such as a wedding for example, then the requirements do not apply.
