Section 278 and traffic regulation orders

Where a development requires changes to an existing traffic regulation order (TRO) or the making of a new order, the developer will be required to pay all costs associated with this, including all consultation and legal costs.

Traffic calming and other traffic management schemes

Where the works involve traffic calming and/or other traffic management schemes, the council will consult with interested parties, such as the parish or town council, the local county councillor, and residents. This may include a public exhibition and other consultations, beyond minimum statutory requirements. The council will also carry out consultations on other traffic management schemes, in line with normal policies and procedures (which will provide advice during the design process). The council may require changes to the design resulting from the consultation.

Developers must pay the costs of consultation regardless of the outcome. The consultation procedure can be lengthy which will have implications on the programme of works.
