Highway searches
A highway search or highway extent enquiry can be requested from us if you require an official plan to show which highways we are responsible for.
A search will identify:
- the extent of highway that is maintained at public expense by us
- where a property is next to or shares a boundary with a publicly maintainable highway
- the legal status of carriageway, footway, grass verges and unmade surfaces adjacent to roads as well as areas of land
- a plan showing these extents
Fees
Our basic search includes a scale plan of the requested location plus 2 set basic question responses. The fee for the basic search is £73.20 including VAT.
You can pay for additional questions if you require more information. The fee for this is £30 per question including VAT.
How to apply
As part of the search submission, you will need to upload at least one location plan clearly detailing the extent of the required search area.
Payment is taken as part of the order process. You'll need a debit or credit card to use this service.
The highway extents on any supplied plans are based on the currently available evidence and can be subject to change. We believe the information supplied to be correct at the time of issue.
The information shown on any supplied plan is given only with respect to the area defined by the enquiry to which the plan relates and can only be used in connection with that enquiry.
Any reproduction of any supplied plan may result in distortions in scale. Any measurements taken from any supplied plan, or any reproduction of that plan may not match the same features on the ground.
Search results will be returned by email within 20 working days.
