Design and Build Services
Our design and build team has worked on many quality projects. You can hire us for:
- Highway civil engineering,

We can also help you contact other organisations.
We offer a construction delivery service, including supervising works and building complex highway projects.
We make sure new developments don’t harm Nottingham City’s roads.
The Local Planning Authority (LPA)
The Local Planning Authority (LPA) can accept or reject development plans. The Highway Authority checks if a development will affect traffic and road safety.
When looking at a planning application or development proposal, the Highway Authority can:
- Have no objections
- Ask for certain conditions
- Request to reject the application
Statutory Agreements
Approved planning applications come with conditions and legal agreements. These can include:
- Contributing to local facilities
- Agreement between the developer and the council for any work on the Highway
- Covering costs for creating new highways
We advise developers to talk to the Council’s Highway Development Control early to avoid delays.
For further information please contact Highways Development Control on 0115 876 5231.
