Fees - termination of highway rights

For both S247 and S116/117 applications, a non-refundable upfront fee of £445 is required at application to cover admin and our investigations.

From these investigations, if the land is deemed surplus, and you wish to proceed with your application under Section 116/117 Highways Act 1980, a solicitor's undertaking of £15,000 minimum will be required to cover advertising, legal and court costs. Our legal team will discuss this with you. For applications under Section 247 Town & Country Planning Act 1990 further fees may be required by the DfT and it is advised you contact them for further information.
