Law firms ranked by client reviews
Highway agreements are planning-led deals between a developer or landowner and the local highway authority to fund, construct or modify roadworks as part of a development. A solicitor negotiates and drafts the agreement under powers in the Highways Act 1980 (including s278 and s38 arrangements), secures guarantees or bonds, and aligns the works with planning conditions. The solicitor coordinates with the council, utilities and other funders, and ensures the works are evidenced, adopted or adequately secured for future maintenance. The outcome is a defined timetable and legal certainty for the development.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
Highway agreements deal with detailed technical and financial provisions, including who carries out the works, who funds them, timeframes, guarantees, and risk allocation. The solicitor handles drafting, review of drawings and specifications, securing guarantees or collateral, and ensuring the works meet adopted standards and planning conditions, with duties to the client and the public purse clearly defined.
