Highway Improvement Works
Planning approval is often accompanied by the requirement to provide improvement works to the local highway network. These highway improvement works require a high level of expertise in their design, management and supervision.
Cole Easdon Consultants is able to provide the expertise and experience required to obtain the necessary technical approvals from the statutory authorities during the design stage.
We will provide the safest and most cost effective highway solution, which will take into account existing site constraints and all existing utility apparatus located within the highway corridor.
We will manage and site supervise the construction stage, to ensure a successful delivery of the proposed improvement works.
Construction characteristics such as grade, surface texture, sight distance, radii of horizontal bends and vertical slopes, in relation to design speed and road junction design, are all important elements of highway improvement works.

The Benefits
Highway improvement works will:
▪ Assist in securing planning permission for a
development and in discharging planning
conditions.
▪ Minimise the impact of the proposed
development upon the existing highway
network.
▪ Provide a more efficient highway network,
which will benefit the development’s
occupiers and the existing users of the
highway network.
▪ Result in a timely and professionally
prepared agreement under Section 278
which will avoid delays to the completion of
the development.
▪ Ensure that proposals for new highway
infrastructure comply with relevant design
standards will avoid costly rework and
delays.
