Decision

Authorisation given to extend the completion
date of the Agreement under Section 278/38 of the Highways Act 1980
for the residential development at Ferry Road, Barrow from 30 July
2024 to 30 July 2026 without amendment to the amount of supporting
bond.

Reasons for the decision

The completed S278/38 agreement supports
development and permits the Council to adopt the roads, footways,
verges, swales, and highway drainage once the development has been
completed to the council’s requirements.

The S278/38 agreement can only legally last for two years and
requires an extension of time if works aren’t complete at the
end of the two year period. This development is not yet completed,
and the agreement needs renewing.
