Policy 6 commuted sums
A commuted sum will be requested for the future maintenance of features, materials, drainage or areas that Leicestershire County Council has agreed to adopt but where the primary purpose is not the safe and efficient functioning of the highway.
Implementing policy 6
Leicestershire County Council will apply a consistent approach to the assessment, calculation and securing of commuted sums for future highway maintenance for all Section 278’s and Section 38’s agreements in Leicestershire, as set out in this document and in accordance with national guidance.
Payment of the commuted sum must be received in advance of the adoption of new highway by Leicestershire County Council.
