- Highway Authority Please note the works required in Condition 1 will require a Section 184 Notice of Approval from Staffordshire County Council. Please email trafficandnetwork@staffordshire.gov.uk for further details. The link below provides an overview of the permissions and licences required for undertaking work on or adjacent to the adopted highway: https://www.staffordshire.gov.uk/Highways/licences/Overview.aspx Staffordshire County Council as Highway Authority would not formally adopt the proposed development, however, the development will require approval under Section 7 of the Staffordshire Act 1983. This Form X does not constitute a detailed design check. The applicant is requested to contact Staffordshire County Council to ensure that approvals and agreements are secured before commencementof works. It will, therefore, be necessary for maintenance/management arrangements for the access road and internal layout to be submitted to the Highway Authority with a view to securing an exemption under Section 219 of the Highways Act 1980. Although the road layout will not be to adoptable standard, the roadways within the site will still need to be constructed to be 'fit for purpose'.
