Legislation, policy and guidance

We provide an efficient and flexible service to the public, developers and Planning Authorities in advising on highway and transportation issues in Development Management. As a responsible Highway Authority we must ensure that any new development has the minimum adverse impact on highway safety, traffic capacity, environmental capacity and convenience to transport users as a whole.

Coronavirus - traffic surveys

Following Government advice we are experiencing a drop in traffic levels on the highway network and the use of public transport due to the ongoing Coronavirus situation. 

As a result, Highways Development Management Officers will not be accepting any survey data obtained from today (17 March 2020) until further notice. 

Speed surveys will be considered on a case by case basis.
