NY Highways works closely with North Yorkshire Council’s Highway Development Service (HDS), which offers Section 278 design and construction services to land promoters and developers in the North Yorkshire area.
The HDS can help developers to plan, design and deliver highways-related improvements for new development projects, through Section 278 design and construction services. Working alongside the planning process, it can assist with projects from an early feasibility stage, through to design and construction and finally to road adoption.
A ‘one stop shop’ service, the HDS removes the burden from developers of finding separate professional services consultants and subcontractors for feasibility surveys, road designs and associated technical approvals, as well as construction.
A dedicated HDS officer will undertake all liaison between the designers, the Local Highway Authority (LHA) and Project Manager/Supervisor/Contractor throughout the life cycle of the project, saving time and money for the land promoter or developer
Key benefits of using the Highway Development Service for your project
If you are a land promoter or developer, here are the key advantages of using the HDS to deliver highway construction works under the 278 Agreements:
- · Right first-time approach to surpass the high standards of quality and service demanded by the customer
- · Streamline the technical approval process, saving time and money
- · Using HDS for design can reduce superintendence fees from 11.5% to 10%
- · No bond payment required – land promoters only pay for the agreed cost of highway construction works under the HDS and S278 agreement
- · Works completed though HDS will lead to hassle-free road adoption
