Commuted sums schedule

Where no figure is shown, sums will be calculated on a site-by-site basis. 

Please be aware that the rates detailed below are based upon the existing 60-year calculation period.

For Section 278 works commuted sums will not normally be applied for the existing area of carriageway unless it is a non-standard material (in that case the commuted sum would be the difference between the commuted sum for the standard and nonstandard material). 

A full commuted sum would be required for any additional carriageway created (e.g. right turn lane), or any new feature created (e.g. refuge/splitter island, additional lighting, bollards etc.). This is because the additional carriageway and features created above those existing are only required to provide the access for the new development, and therefore it is reasonable to require a commuted sum to maintain them in the future.
