That the proposal for charges for technical approval of highway structures be approved and for those charges to come into effect immediately.

The Executive considered a report on the proposal for charging for technical approval of highway structures which would make the process clearer and more transparent.

Members were advised that currently when advice was provided to third parties eg developers on highways structures the Council bore the cost.  The proposal was that developers wishing to construct or change highway structures eg bridges, embankments and retaining walls would now be charged which would allow the Council to recover the full cost of the process. 

RESOLVED:  That the proposal for charges for technical approval of highway structures be approved and for those charges to come into effect immediately.
