Highway Development - Introduction

 

Sheffield City Council is keen to welcome and assist developers, particularly where this will lead to the creation of new jobs for local people and benefit the local economy.

 

To assist developers through the planning process the Council has published a series of “Information Sheets” to provide you with advice. They offer highway advice to help you design your development, and may save you time and money by speeding up the planning application process.

 

Some of the “Information Sheets” provide you with the advice itself, others tell you where and how further guidance can be sought.

 

Current “Information Sheets” offer guidance on:-

 

Information Sheet 2        Transport Assessments and Travel Plans

Information Sheet 3        Car Parking Guidelines

Information Sheet 4        Bicycle Parking Guidelines

Information Sheet 5        Providing for Motorcycles

Information Sheet 6        Construction of New Roads and Footpaths for Adoption

Information Sheet 7        Information and Drawing Requirements for  Section 38 Agreements

Information Sheet 8        Residential and Commercial Design Guide

 

It is planned to issue further “Information Sheets” in the future.  If you have any particular themes you would like to see covered please get in touch.
