Transportation infrastructure for new developments.

The Highways Act 1980, Section 31(6) provides a mechanism for landowners to acknowledge the presence of existing rights of way across their land and negate any intention to dedicate further ways thereby preventing new rights being established.

Developer contributions play a fundamental role in helping to ensure that the impacts of development on local infrastructure (roads, schools, and other public services) are appropriately mitigated and that the right infrastructure is in place to support it.

We deal with planning applications that relate to minerals, waste planning or our own developments.

Under the Safety of Sports Grounds Act 1975 and The Fire Safety and Safety of Places of Sport Act 1987 Leicestershire County Council are responsible for issuing a safety certificate in the respect of sports grounds that are designated by the Secretary of State and/or regulated stands.

We offer advice on development proposals which need planning permission in line with the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and Local Plan policies. We recommend talking about this as soon as possible, ideally before you submit a planning application.

You can request biodiversity data, as well as share your sightings of species with the Leicestershire and Rutland Environmental Records Centre - the main county archive.
