Highways Development Control
The Council gives advice on development proposals and planning applications. We try to ensure highway safety, improvements and sustainable means of access.
As part of the development process, we secure improvements to the transportation network and ensure that new developments are designed and built to proper standards.
Transportation Assessments and Travel Plans
Highway adoptions
Prospectively adoptable new roads are approved under planning legislation. The design principles and standards of construction should reflect the policies of the Council. These are reflected in the Design Guides.
