Section 278 agreements - feasibility stage
The level of information we will require will depend, amongst other things, on the scale and location of your proposed works.
The information that we require must be submitted along with any other relevant supportive drawings and information to assess the proposed works and overall principals of the design prior to more detailed design being carried out. This will hopefully avoid any abortive design at a later stage.
