Highway Development
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.
These pages have been provided to assist developers through the planning process. They offer highway advice to help you design your development, and may save you time and money by speeding up the planning application process.
This information has also been published as a series of Information Sheets. Some provide you with advice, others tell you where and how further guidance can be sought. You can download the Highway Development Information sheets or follow the links on the left to view them on the web site.
It is planned to issue further guidance in the future, both on this site and in printed form. If you have any particular themes you would like to see covered please get in touch.
