Planning Applications

Highway Development Control ensures that new developments do not have a negative impact on Nottingham City's highway network

The Local Planning Authority (LPA) has the power to refuse or accept development proposals. It is the Highway Authority's role to assess whether a development will have an impact on traffic and road safety.
 
When considering a planning application or development proposal, there are three options available to the Highway Authority:

• Offering no objections to proposals,
• Request planning conditions to be put in place
• Request refusal of the planning application

Statutory Agreements

Approved planning applications are subject to conditions and legal agreements.

This can include:

• An agreement to contribute to local facilities,
• An agreement between the developer and the council for any works to be conducted on the Highway
• Or agreement to cover the cost of developments whereby a new highway is to be created

We advise developers to discuss these issues with the Council's Highway Development Control at an early stage. This avoids delays at the formal planning stage.

For further information please contact Highways Development Control on 0115 876 5231.
