On the weekend I have a large job to do working at about 35-40ft with a water fed pole, my poles are not light so that will be fun as I have not gone that high before.

The part that is concerning me though is one side of the building is next to a busy road and in order to reach the height need I will need to stand on the kerb and thus making the foot path not usable. Do I need council permision to do this and any tips would be very welcomed.

POssibly, because if you are in the way of any pedestrians you need to provide a coned off area for them to step into road around around you and plenty of correct signage

As said try do the bit by the road early on a weekend, but you will still need signs etc if people are still possibly going  to be walking around there

and you can have as many signs on the road as you like, even with signs saying dont go through here or you could possibly die, they still walk through as if to say i have the right, and your not stoping me  :

@least if you hit them with a pole though they had been warned by signs, if no signage then you are 100 % at fault, its covering your back nothing else.. if people wanna be stupid let em, just dont leave yourself open to being sued
