NOTES TO APPLICANT:

A Management and Maintenance Company for the shared private drives must be secured by S.106 Agreement to protect the financial interests of both the future occupiers and County Council. Please contact hdc.south@nottscc.gov.uk for details.

 

The applicant should note that notwithstanding any planning permission that ifany highway forming part of the development is to be adopted by the Highways Authority, the new roads and any highway drainage will be required to comply with Nottinghamshire County Council’s current highway design guidance and specification for roadworks.

 

a)  The Advanced Payments Code in the Highways Act 1980 applies and under section 219 of the Act payment will be required from the owner of the land fronting a private street on which a new building is to be erected. The developer should contact the Highway Authority with regard to compliance with the Code, or alternatively to the issue of a Section 38 Agreement and bond under the Highways Act 1980. A Section 38 Agreement can take some time to complete. Therefore, it is recommended that the developer contact the Highway Authority as early as possible.

 

b)  It is strongly recommended that the developer contact the Highway Authority at an early stage to clarify the codes etc. with which compliance will be required in the particular circumstance, and it is essential that design calculations and detailed construction drawings for the proposed works are submitted to and approved by the County Council (or District Council) in writing before any work commences on site.

 

Correspondence with the Highway Authority should be addressed to: hdc.south@notts..gov.uk
