Public-space occupation permits for removals in Milan
A move or furniture lift placement in Milan may require a public-space occupation permit. Decorato supports preparation of the application and organisation of the space.
When to consider a permit application
The area required depends on the vehicle, stabilisers, the route for materials and road conditions. The assessment also covers pavements, driveways and pedestrian passage.
Information to collect
The address, date and expected duration allow the application to be prepared. Photographs and measurements of the area help identify restrictions before the documents are submitted.
- Location and dimensions of the space to be occupied.
- Vehicle types and dimensions.
- Applicant details and any authorisation to act on their behalf.
- Availability of parking, private access or pedestrian routes.
Assistance under authorisation
The service may include preparing documents, submitting the application and liaising with the relevant offices. The work included and the applicant are specified in the engagement.
Timescales and permits
The date must be planned around application processing and applicable requirements. Approval depends on the competent authority: submitting an application does not mean a permit has been granted.
Signage, access and controlled zones
The permit may require signage and other operating conditions. Public-space occupation, access to Area C or restricted traffic zones, and building authorisations involve separate checks.
Costs and professional enquiries
Public charges and the fee for managing the application must be distinguished in the quote. Support can also be requested by companies that need to organise work in Milan.
Is a permit always required for a move?
It depends on where and how the vehicles are positioned. This must be assessed for the specific address and planned work.
How far in advance should I contact you?
As soon as you know the approximate date. Application and processing times must be checked against the municipality’s current instructions.
How much does occupying public space cost?
Amounts and charges depend on the nature of the use of public space and the applicable rates. Permit administration is a separate service item.
Can I authorise Decorato to act on my behalf?
Assistance under a letter of authorisation is agreed according to the application and documents required.
Does the public space permit include entry to Area C?
These are separate checks. Vehicle access requirements must be assessed alongside any need to occupy public space.
What happens if the date changes?
The relevant authorities must confirm whether the permit can be amended or a new application is required.
Who arranges the signs?
Responsibility for signage must be specified in the appointment and comply with the permit conditions.
Is approval guaranteed?
No. The relevant authority assesses the application and may request further information or impose conditions.
