7.
Residents of Thomas Cox Wharf and Alexandra Grange,
Tipton, requesting adoption of roads.
|
The responsibility to
progress the adoption of any new roads on a development fell solely
on the land owner (typically the Developer) who must initially
offer any new roads to the Authority for adoption and, importantly,
enter into a legal adoption agreement with the Local Highway
Authority (typically an agreement under Section 38 of the Highway
Act). The Council had no powers to force a developer to enter into
any adoption agreement. In this
instance, the Developer had given the Authority
every impression that it
was going to enter into the necessary Section 38 agreement for
adoption on numerous occasions and took discussions well beyond the
cut off time allowable to undertake enforcement under Section 220.
However, the Developer did not complete the necessary Section 38
agreements for the adoption of the roads or complete the necessary
process. ... view
