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 Phoenix Parkway, Scunthorpe, Phase 1 from 31 July 2026 to 30 July 2028 without amendment to the amount of supporting bond.

Reasons for the decision

The completed S278/38 agreement support development and permit 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.
