National Highways Protocol, Dealing with Planning Applications

National Highways Protocol

National Highways (formerly known as Highways England) published an informative document entitled 'The strategic road network, Planning for the Future, A guide to working with Highways England on planning matters' which can be read here.

This protocol was prepared to assist developers and their representatives in working alongside National Highways when submitting planning applications for developments which could have an impact on the strategic road network. It is also designed to assist Local Planning Authorities, Local Highway Authorities and National Highways internal planning teams in the review of planning applications to enable prompt and consistent responses.

By working in this way, all parties will have the opportunity to avoid abortive costs and to minimise potential delays through the planning process.
