Highway register enquiries

We answer queries about the highways and deal with subsequent requests from solicitors/home buyers, developers and more.

We answers queries related to the following:

  • Highway status and extent of highways boundary enquiries - precisely outlining the extent to which the public highway adjoins a property
  • Road/traffic schemes and traffic management proposals
  • Highway building and improvement/widening lines
  • Developer road proposals and road adoption agreements

All enquiries should be accompanied with a clear plan showing an accurate boundary of the property. Land registry title plans are preferred.

Submit a highway register enquiry

Please note: In order to keep the costs of this service to a minimum, payment will be taken in advance during the form submission.
