If you operate plant such as a 360 or a loading shovel for instance do you need a driving licence ?
On a public road, yes.
No site operations no road work ?
There’s no legal requirement to have a driving licence to use vehicles or plant off the public road, but a company might insist on for their own rules or insurance purposes.
Not if you’ve already got your CPCS card without one. Crack on

you don,t need one of those either 
CPCS is all but ignored in quarries, they use MPQC (was EPIC). Recycling operations use WAMITAB approved training and MPQC.

You can’t operate plant in exchange for money without one. It’s the DCPC of the plant world. Unless you’re loading/unloading or repairing

Surely that’s all you do in those machines unless I suppose demo or construction?

Then I bow to your superior knowledge mr muckaway
Nobby Clarke you only need a CPCS Ticket if you work for the MCG’S (Major contracting groups) the likes of Kier, Balfour Beatty, Wimpy’s etc etc.
The NPORS tickets are being recognised more now as well, like Muckaway said other industry’s have their own rules and training schemes where I am now my cpcs tickets don’t count for much they’ll still train you on their machines in house.
In my old job one of the main plant operators didn’t have a driving licence.
I also doubt many people actually have a licence to drive a tracked machine (H Licence) or road roller (G Licence) but still take them down the road

yes you can , i am a full time plant operator there is no legal requirement to have a cpcs card
the only legal requirement is that you are competent

L plates covers a car licence holder to drive those on the road, since their licence will have those provisional categories.

Yes true, same as the rule for mopeds? still drive with L plates as they’re usually single seater vehicles
(no room for an instructor)
OP I’m guessing you or whoever is driving the plant is doing so off road? As Glen A9 and others have said unless its for a company that state you must have a driving licence or be over 21 or whatever crack on. If your in the middle of nowhere no ones gonna know anyway, first thing I ever drove on my own was a little ride on roller when I was about 11 going to work with my dad lol!
