It is important that, early on in the development process, developers and local authorities consider the implications of a scheme on existing highway and drainage networks, even where such networks are outside of the development boundary.
We have a team dedicated to working on statutory agreements for highways and drainage. Our experienced team act for developers, landowners, statutory undertakers and highway authorities. Statutory Agreements we advise on include:
- Agreements under sections 104/116/185 of the Water Industry Act 1991
- Agreements under sections 38 and 278 of the Highways Act 1980
We also advise on:
- sewer adoptions and requisition advice
- highway dedication and adoption
- Deed of Easements and Bonds in relation to infrastructure
- Stopping Up orders
- Diversion orders
