What is S278?
A Section 278 Agreement (S278) is a legal agreement between a developer and the local highway authority, under Section 278 of the Highways Act 1980. It allows developers to carry out work on a public highway, including new junctions, access roads, crossings, roundabouts, traffic signals and general road improvements.
S278 works are often required when a new development will impact the surrounding road network. At Sub-Tech Contracts, we guide our clients through every stage of the process, from initial design to approvals and delivery, ensuring full compliance with local authority standards.
