Transport planning across East of England.

From the Fens and Norfolk to Suffolk’s ports, Cambridge, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, where county councils are usually the highway authority.

How we work here

Local standards, one point of contact.

The right council, the right standards

Who decides the highways side depends on where your site is. We work out early whether it’s a county, unitary or metropolitan council, and apply its standards from the first sketch.

Strategic roads

Where a scheme adds traffic to a motorway or trunk road, National Highways needs to agree the evidence too. We tell you early if yours does.

Evidence sized to the scheme

A short technical note is often enough for a small scheme. We tell you what the council will actually ask for, with a fixed fee.
