HIGHWAY REQUIREMENTS FOR DEVELOPMENT

This document is the Leicestershire County Council design standard "Highway Requirements for Development" (HRfD) and was first released in March 1991. As of October 2004 it has been mainly superseded by our new design guide, 'Highways, transportation and development'".

The document consists of several parts which it is hoped will prove better suited to the needs of the individual user. Despite this separation into parts related mainly to specific types of development, it is intended that the standards and guidelines set out in each of the various parts should form a common whole for the consideration of types of development which are not covered specifically in one part alone. The staff of the Department of Planning and Transportation or the appropriate Highways Agent Authority will be pleased to advise which parts of the document would be suitable for any intended development, and which will not be required.

Parts 1 to 7 of this document are available as PDF format files.  The Standard Drawings are available in Gif and DWF file formats.  Please choose from the links below:
