New developments and public highways

The Development Management team is responsible for making sure that formal agreements are in place to carry out works on existing highways where they are linked to new development proposals.

Such works are normally covered under S278 of the Highways Act 1980.

If the work relates to individual residential vehicle access, see our dropped kerb page.

If the work requires licensing, see our roads and street works licenses section
