Stopping-Up of Highways

We are able to provide advice and assistance on the Stopping-Up of Highways under both the Highways Act 1980 and the Town & Country Planning Act 1990. Both methods are governed by stringent legal requirements and the process can be complex and daunting.

This service can include the preparation of the formal application pack and submission to the relevant authority and the subsequent liaison with the Local Highway Authority or the Department for Transport’s National Casework Team as necessary.  We will also advise and assist your legal team in terms of any legal requirements in relation to statutory undertakers' equipment which may be affected.
