Infrastructure guide builds a fan base

 
A guide devised by Leicestershire County Council on designing and providing transport infrastructure for new housing developments has been adopted by three other East Midlands councils.


Nottinghamshire County Council has joined Leicester City Council and Derbyshire County in adopting Leicestershire’s Htd (Highways transportation and development). It is used to inform responses to planning applications and is recognised by inspectors at planning appeals.


The guide contains information for developers on what facilities they should provide for pedestrians, cyclists and public transport-users and technical details about road layouts, specifications and the law.


Leicestershire is continuing to work with other authorities and the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE) to develop Htd further.
