Adoption of highways

New large residential permissions often involve the construction of new roads. Whilst it is usually the developer’s responsibility to construct the new roads, the adoption of the roads is the responsibility of Leicestershire County Council, which is the highway authority. You can find out more in this advice note which explains the process for adopting new roads.
