Section 50 Agreement
Installation of apparatus under the public highway
Developers wanting to install or maintain apparatus under a public highway will require a Section 50 agreement. Therefore works such as verges, footways and carriageways will need this is place. This is issued by the Local authority under the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 (NRSWA.) In sum this is the primary legislation governing licenses for street works.
Typical Examples:
- Surface and sewer water connections in the highway
- Telecoms ducts in the highway
- Gas and electricity connections
- Erection of columns in the highway for lighting and signage
Contact us to discuss your Section 50 application and works.
Section 278 Agreement
Construction and changes to the public highway
Section 278 of the Highways Act 1980 allows a developer to carry out permanent changes to the public highway. This is generally necessary when planning permission has been granted for a development that requires improvements or changes. In short a Section 278 agreement is the agreement between the Highways authority and the developer.
Typical Examples:
- Road junction modifications
- New access into retail parks
- Priority junctions
- Vehicular cross-overs
- Zebra and pelican crossings
- Traffic calming measures
- Pedestrianisation schemes
- Cycle and footpath construction
