Decision

To approve the requirement to enter into a S38/278 agreement for a development of Godnow Road, Crowle (PA/2024/1459), which will enable the council to adopt the roads, footways, verges and highway drainage on completion.

Reasons for the decision

Approving the requirement to enter into a S38/278 agreement for a development of Godnow Road, Crowle (PA/2024/1459), will enable the council to adopt the roads, footways, verges and highway drainage on completion.

Alternative options considered

To not issue approval for the council to enter into a S278/38 agreement with the developer. This would result in adopting the estate roads via another mechanism such as S37 of the Highways Act 1980, which can involve lengthy disputes.
