Respondent: Hertfordshire County Council - Environment & Infrastructure Department

4.1.3 - Highways not consulted on all applications.

4.2.3 - S278 works may sometimes be sought not only in addition to s106, but in place of s106 through Grampian planning conditions. If the developer is solely responsible for delivering work by 278/condition then this is often a much better route to take. We request that this paragraph is amended to reflect this position.

4.2.6 - What does it mean when it says “Non-financial contributions towards sustainable transport may also be required”, when many of the measures listed do involve financial contributions, e.g. CPZs, TP monitoring. Please could you provide further clarity on this paragragh. HCC’s Guide to Developer Infrastructure Contributions may not provide an indication of the scale of Highway requests in the future. The document ‘Roads in Herts’ is likely to be renamed, so at this stage best to use a more generic title such as ‘Hertfordshire County Council’s Highways Design Guide’. This amendment should be made in the other relevant Strategies and Guidance column in the table before paragraph 4.1.
